Best Fridge

Hi all

I am looking for a decent fridge unit aprox. 50 ltrs 12v to use in my D3. Seen several but wondered if anyone has a unit they would recommend?

Thank

Don Thumbs Up

There is a great one for sale in the sale / waned section.

Really nice bloke selling it too. It is 40+ litres and also has a freezer section.

Engel are the most widely recommended. Or that is what I discovered at the time of looking.

Engel are very good so are National Lunar. But, they wont improve the taste of Budweiser Wink Whistle

Give MPS a call. I paid about that for my 50l WAECO. Very happy with it.

Budweiser, If you're looking at that size, then get the one with the least power consumption. Are you planning on running an extra battery too?
Personally I recommend the Engel, coz I have one. Some have had Waeco or National Luna, but Engel is where my money goes.

You can get a 35l fridge which sits under the rear cover nicely, then you can also get an additional 15 or 20 litres (ISTR) as a n additional compartment to sit on top. Gives you the flexibility of a big fridge or a fridget that you want to store under the rear roller cover.

It will run for a week on the spare battery with no problem when I've left it at the airport before now.

It goes in the other compartment under the bonnet on the drivers side, regular battery/fuse box is passenger side on RHD models - no doubt talk of Optima batteries and wiring solutions will follow!

In a nutshell, if you don't fancy fitting/wiring it yourself, contact TFC Thumbs Up

I've just ordered a NUMAX marine batt. I've seen them used on challenge vehs to run winches all day with no side effects so a fridge and the few bits that I want to run should be easy. Plus the batt comes in at less than 80quid if you shop around. I know X-ENG do them but at nearly 95 quid plus delivery.
But the "in" thing on here seems to be Optima a bit like MTR's and Lightforce lights Thumbs Up
