Hi All, we need to get a new fridge for van and and was wondering if any of you out there have the Waeco Coolmatic installed, they seem to be a big difference in price, is this just because they do not work on gas or it is an inferior product, would really appreciate your feedback. Pauline

I was listening to the post Yasi conversation on the ABC this morning and a lady said that the price of bananas had gone from $2 per kg to $7, overnight, in her local (read big 2) supermarket.
