Thread: What size fridge do you have?

40l Ironman, has been excellent. Don't need a slide. Can lift lid to access contents when it's facing for and aft...doesn't take up much room that way. Very efficient and whisper quiet compressor. Cheers

Interesting the number of other fridges being mentioned here. Given the marketing of Engel, you'd think they are near the only 12v car fridge sold although Waeco are becoming popular.

Been a fantastic fridge,never missed a beat,although the compressor is starting to get a bit noisy.

Fits in the D2 easy leaving heaps of room for anything else,the kitchen sink etc.

Unfortunately they are power hungry buggers though... (Compared to their later offspring)

Mine MR40F (New plastic engel) averages well under 2 amp / Hr. It will pull between 2 and 3 amp when the compressor is running but it doesn't run that often. I did work it out once with a watt meter but I can't remember what it was. I know it was well under 2 and that's what I calculate for some I have a decent margin.

Happy Days.

I cant fault my bushman,Even when i fried the circuit board [dont ask] i rang up old mate who makes the fridge explained to him what i had done he posted a new one to me free of charge,cant fault that for customer service.

Correct,thats one of the reasons i am saving up for a another.

But as you would appreciate,if something has served you for all those years,it is hard to retire it for those reasons,but i probably should.

The insulation would also not be as good as a new one.

Ironman 40l averages 1amp per hour in Fridge mode.

Cheers
