Thread: Fridges in Vans 3

I've wondered about getting a bar fridge and substituting the motor/compressor with a replacement from a waeco/bushman ... is it doable? I've spoken to the blokes at bushman and they claim (consistently!) that their standard motor/compressor is capable of supporting a 200L fridge...dependent on the speed etc of the motor which is adjustable with a laptop and the proprietary software...
I can't fathom why the cost of these things is so high in comparison... but that's been moaned about before

Hoges certainly do-able the problem being that the Danfos units (there are 2 a BD35 and BD50) which are used by most fridge manufacturers except Engel which has its own brand both cost as much or more than a new fridge complete.
Guess we have to wait till the Chinese come out with a bolt in unit at a sensible price.
