Hi gang, I have a Waeco 50L works great, HOWEVER,  Waeco owners just check your lighter plug on your 12V lead.  Quick story, no cold beer??? (checked fuses , all good) pulled the plug apart and found that "positive" wire was sitting on top of the "negative" wire and through the vibration of travel it wore through the heatshrink and insulation (bad design??), "not happy Jane". Bought better plug and all fine now. Cheers

Just came back from a weekend away with my old Evalcool .

Highly impressed. Ran for 3 nights and 2 days , and tried to turn it down to 1/4 on its dial, and the milk and OJ froze, but the best part, I get back and put the 100AH gel battery (commander) on to charge and it still read 12.8 V, and I would believe it as it only took 2 hours @ 11 A to start turning down the amps to 8 A and was full 10 hrs later

I was in a camping store in Tamworth the other day and I noticed that Evakool is making a different fridge these days.  They have some that look like Waecos.

The Swan has a RM360 2 way. which works a treat on gas or 240v.
My beer & drink Fridge, frozen meat/frozen vegies storage while camping is a 15+ year old Chescold 50lt 3 way, 2 years ago I had the thermostat and jet replaced, Works like a new one. Also have a Finch 33lt, that we use for day trips, works great on 12v. We also have a 72lt plastic Big Chilli ice box, Freeze down 5x 4lt ice cream container of water to make block ice and they'll last well over a week.
We're pretty well sorted after a few years of trial and error.
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

We have been using a couple of old esky's for years with home made ice. Apart from soggy food after a couple of days they work ok. Currently researching 12V fridge options to go in the CUB when it arrives, this thread is very helpful, except I wasn't aware of the amount of available options. ???

sitting under your awning looking around at everyone sweating their backsides off and pulling out a few paddlepop ice blocks for the kids and yourself :)

We have a 60 lt Trailblazer that we got about 15 years ago to do an around Aust trip that we never ended up going on. Its been a fantastic fridge and mainly sits on the deck keeping the coke at the right temp to add to the Bundy. Now we will have a 60 lt engel in the new camper as it will fit into the kitchen better and we are finding with the kids we are loking for some more fridge and freezer capacity.
