Fridges - What to choose

Do you have a fetish for car fridges or are you just a serious collector? LOL

I reckon you are on top of it!! Plenty of nice cold beer at your place! LOL & happy fridging.

The Trailblazer and the Evakool I paid for, a mate of mine runs a camping hire business in Darwin, so the Engel Waeco and Oztrail were hand me downs.

A few weeks ago we went on the week long annual boys end of year fishing trip to Willigi, I had the Engel as a food freezer, the Evakool as a food fridge, the Trailblazer was a beer fridge as was the Waeco in the boat and the Oztrail was the fish fridge once caught, that was for two of us the other 9 guys and three cars and four boats had similar set ups and we still took 3 x 100 lt eskies full of Ice.

By the way the fishing was great, although I had my boat towed 17 ks after it seazed from getting hot while idling in and out off the reefs, Over night we sprayed heaps of WD40 down the ports and freed it up, then replaced the impeller and took it fishing the next day with out incident, I have since had a look at the inside of the engine and no damage was done.

So does cold XXXX................LOL

I'll second that with the Bushman. I have a 40 litre waeco and are happy with it but need a second fridge.
I have looked at them all and have decided on the Bushman, they have been given a good rap with the lowest energy consumption plus they have a variety of size options with the same fridge which gives you a bit of flexibility.
Not going to knock the Engel but I have noticed their compressor motor is a lot noisier than the waeco if that is a consideration for you.

I agree with Hairy... work out how you want to store, access it and measure up. If it's on a slide then it probably won't matter but in my case (120 Prado as well) I wanted a end opening fridge so it ended up being an Engel MT45 (40L).
