Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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.

got one (38L) i think, happy with it.

Cons - a little bigger than the metal cased ones
- no temp display

Pros - keeps stuff cold
- steel hinges better than waeco pastic ones

just my 2c

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 always have that problem when camping

now im looking at a second compressor fridge for beers/or freezer

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.

i bought one recently for $799 with bag and thermometer. After looking around for the price i couldn't go past it. Felt better quality than the waeco.
Go for it.

bru21 has a waeco bought 40L in case used literally twice that he will part with for a fair price. He on sunchine coast. 0402337734. prob be around that 650 700 i suppose.

he just has not got around to advertising.

Ive got three waeco's, no problems after a couple of years. What problems have you had.

Ended up buying a spankers waeco 60L seems to be going well so far, couldnt go wrong for $960, 3yr warranty on it all and 5 yrs on the motor

thanks to Mr Rudd i'm the market for some toys, err for the kiddies, and was looking at getting a 40l Engel. Anyone know of good deals going on?
