When the power came through farmers often bought an electric fridge and put the old kero item in the shed.
To save weight and space in the vehicle, I'd suggest separating the cabinet from the refrigeration unit and just install the cabinet. Typically the Electrolux refrigeration part was imported and the cabinet/burner/kero tank made locally. Hence all the different brands (eg "MasterKold", "Silent Knight" were all based on an Electrolux refrigeration unit made in Sweden.

Thanks Rob,
I lost touch with the gentleman i purchased the Series I from and always wondered if he removed parts from it. There was also a tinny, outboard motor and fuel tanks that went on the roofrack....
I've put an advert on Gumtree but may take up your advice......it's worth a shot.
