whoops my bad extremely sorry. Whilst travelling on the Savannah Way dust got into my fridge box.(separate issue). We pulled up at King Ash Bay to find 10mm of dust inside the fridge. YES the lid was closed properly. Could not seem to regulate the freezer and the fridge with the single thermostat eg freezer would be ice cold and the fridge would be warm. After my first Waeco flatpacked itself within days of purchasing it i swore i would never buy another one, but due to the fridge box dimensions being made for a three way fridge the largest fridge I could fit in there was the CF-50DZ . It is my opinion that Waeco fridges are just inferior rubbish. i know a lot of people will disagree with this - maybe it is just this particular model, it does not work correctly. Once again, I humbly apologise for what was unfortunately a user error on my behalf.I'll give ya 100 for it... I need a bigger fridge

Noting fridges are designed to keep cool in, not dust out, but one would assume that would be one and the same thing? I wonder if an engel placed in the same box would suffer the same fate? All the same, I don't think to solve that would be a biggie.
Any dual zone fridge without separate controls will be a compromise. You need to do some experimentation with the divider like I did here:

Also, the addition of a small fan will do wonders to keeping the fridge side more constant:

So, if I was you, I would do some experimentation, then come back and say the CFX-50DZ is Shite with a bit of confidence.

The fridge in question is not a CFX-50Dz, it is a CF50-Dz. Note the subject at the top of your page. The fridge was located in an Aussie Swag fridge box, from a late nineties model. The vent cover failed. The problem with the Waeco is the reversible lid. I did not buy a brand new fridge to have to fit parts to have to modify it to make it work. I am a carpenter not a fridge technician, but hey, thanks for the advice.
Sorry, misread the model, my bad. Like I said though, I reckon the dust issue would be easy to resolve (even if you shouldn't have to).
And the experimentation with the divider height and fridge fan will do you the world of good. That would apply to almost any DZ without separate controls,Waeco or not. Noting the engel combi has a fan in the divider, but I haven't had the pleasure to play with one of those yet.

Sorry I wasn't talking about the upright 80lt fridge next to the lounge and kitchen in the retarded camper, I was talking about the baby 50lt dz that I keep in the car. It has worked perfect. Not sure why me camper even come into it. But whatever makes you sleep better champ.
Ps. Nowhere in my camper gets dust. Not even its fridge box.

The easiest resolution would be a box trailer, tarp and an old esky.Could forget to buy ice?

Could forget to buy ice?I had already thought if that.
It doesn't matter if you forget the food and beer.

Dust in the Nav tub p****** me off big time, but never had it get into my fridge. I do have the insulated cover on mine, so maybe this helps.
The only other problem I have is on ocassions, I find it leaks........as whole beer cans seem to go mia overnight

I'm a carpenter too, and have this unit in the back tub of the Nav. Apparently if you're a Toyrota owner, we may now no longer be friends

So are all carpenters also drug dealers? May explain why one carpenter I know is always on oversea's jaunts and another has the flashest fourbie on myswag.
