Yeah, the problem Scarry is that some manufacturers still offer the dinosaur as standard fare in their vans, with no other option.......

My AOR has an 82L Evakool fridge/freezer which is brilliant. Keeps ice cream solid, just like at home :)

The CF-50 is either our drinks fridge or deep freezer on longer trips. Has never missed a beat.

Not trying to be smart here,but we have had a look at a lot of off road vans in the last 6 months,with the intention of eventually purchasing one.Most have changed over to compresser refrigerators as standard.

The van we have hired on occasions has the 3 way which did work well,at times actually froze the contents of the fridge.

That is madness having the van like that on the driveway. But it looks like it's being lived in so it's not just chocked up for the fridge to work. Try sleeping with the van facing down hill without it being like that though.[bigsmile1]
On the other hand any frenzied bed activity inside could well send the van on a rough ride down the drive.
Not for me.
