Thread: ARB Fridge (47l or 60l)

It doesn't matter what size fridge people buy, they seem to be able to fill it.

So people with a 60 litre will tell you that is the minimum acceptable size. People with a 40 litre will probably say that is big enough.

Our family of four managed with a 15 litre fridge on a six week trip.

We run a Waeco CFX65 in the back of the Disco on a Waeco slide.
It's snug but it fits nicely.

We get the butcher to vacuum seal all our meat into separate meals, then it all goes in the freezer section. I wouldn't want anything smaller and that's just for 2 of us..

47L ARB in back (LHS) of D2a on an MSA Drop slide (sitting ontop of a drifta drawer setup). Comfortably does 3x of us for 4-5 days. It's "packed" and full when we leave and thins out over the trip. Wost issue is juggling "drinks" :wink: Not much room to start off ... plenty of space towards the end.

Meh. I've got a waeco 80L dual zone. Takes up most of the boot, but everything is in the camper anyway.

Hi Fluids,

Are you possible to able to post a picture of your setup, just so I can get an idea. I was thinking along the same lines as you have described, but a picture will complement your description.

Thanks

Whilst not an ARB fridge, see attached a setup for a Waeco 50DZ, may assist with ideas.

Here's our setup:

My Wife and I travelled for 9 Months with this setup - very user friendly as the fridge is at floor level and it leaves heaps of storage space for other gear in the back. 40L is more than enough room for 2 and would suit a family as long as you catch the occasional fish!

Cheers

Anything over 50ltr seems too big for extended travel, if you cannot survive out of a 47ltr for a few days have another look at what you are packing. Drinking red wine cuts down on space used.
