I'm looking at buying a fridge soon, since i'll be doing abit of camping in the next 2 months, was trying to line up a Steel cased engle but not sure if it will happen.
Another resonably priced option i'm looking at is a Engel Eclipse 38L, from what I can see its the same as the metal case ones just in a plastic case.
Does anyone have any experience with them or can suggest something else, seen the Eclipse for 799 with transit bag.

38L seems a bit small if you want food for a week and some beer too.
Go the 50 litre waeco, its a set and forget fridge, has a temp display, 10 volt cut out, mine runs at 3 deg for 3 days with no charging before it bdrops the batt to 10 volts
I payed $850 for mine and am very happy with it
Engle dial can move and freeze or thore out everything, waco plastiic may scratch but painted matal is worse.

I was going to buy an eclipse, but found a 2nd hand (steel case) engel for the right price in very good nick.
I am not sure why everyone needs such a huge fridge??? I plan to use the engel as a freezer, and have an esky as a fridge. 2 sets of cool bricks, and swap them daily.

My folks did the same thing years ago on a desert trip - froze all their food, pulled the food out the thaw during the day and that kept their drinks cool etc.
They're not big beer drinkers though, I admit that complicates things.

I would be wary buying a Waeco if youre going anywhere thats not near service centres. When it works its brilliant, but they just keep going wrong, luckily ive never had trouble with warranty, they just fix it.ANDREWGQ 351 wrote:38L seems a bit small if you want food for a week and some beer too.
