thetford fridge - new

Good to see a bit of competition in the market. It may make the other/s lift their game a bit now. Bob

hi ferryman,,,,you lucky bugger,,,im having all sorts of trouble with my fridge,the van is only 20 months old ..the guts of the fridge has been replaced 2 x and ive done all things right ,,,you name it ive done it to no avail
.....i went to the sydney caravan show last month and talked to van dealers and fridge dealers etc,,,,,,and it appears that my fridge is under rated for the intended job ,,,,outback australia,,,its rated as NS what ever that means cause it goes ape ship after the ambient temp reaches 27'C and does not recover until over night.,,,,,,,now looking for another fridge,,,,.......
ive picked up a few catalogues etc on fridges and you know what ?? there is no information on ratings listed one even had "designed for harsh australian conditions " but no information on temps or rating
after talking around i believe,and imay be wrong here,,,that the NS will only work up to 32'C ,,,,,ST,,,,,,up to 36 'C ,,T to 42'C,,,,,,,
they all seem to clam up when asked about the ratings....
i wish i knew all this when i purchased the van ,,,,,,,,
also ive noticed that reviews on new vans in magazines etc never list the rating on this major and important item
i would be lost without my engel
buying a new van ?? ASK ABOUT THE FRIDGE RATING,,,,,,,

NS rating means Not Suitable ;)

Hi Ferryman

Glad to hear you are happy with the new Thetford as i'm interested in one.

Did you have a thermometer inside and if so approx what temp did it maintain at and what was the recovery time back to 3 or 4C after door had been opened etc ?

Cheers
