Hello all, You may remember Melissa advising of a expansion unit for the Engel range of fridges. I have found a site www.spinifex-creations.com.au (sorry don't know how to do the hyperlink thing). This is a Darwin based site and the gentleman concerned is a fridge tech and sells all sorts of fridge freezers. Price for the unit was around $349 (I think) .
You will need to be quick as Mrs Al will be in buying one quicker than a rat up a drain pipe.

Regards

Mark

Saw them on display at the north Coast caravan and camping show. Looked well made. I think he said the regular prive was $349 but was flogging them for $299.

We've survived this long with an Engel 40 litre (including up to 20 days remote) so we decided not to bother.

Rang Michael the owner of Keepicool in NT, unit is same width and length as your Engel, but adds 250mm to height, so a 39 litre will be 700mm tall. Hope that helps some of you. Now just gotta measure the chuckwagon and see if if it will slide in the 80.

I had a look at this thing on the website and couldn't determine whether it is an additional refrigeration unit or just an insulated box that relies on cooling from below. If it is the latter I would question its effectiveness as cold is not renownwd for its rising qualities. However I assume it must be effective in some way, otherwise it wouldn't be on the market. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jim.
