Anyone got a Vitrifrigo fridge with a separate compressor?
Permalink  

Our van came with a 40lt bar fridge and we can squeeze in a Vitrifrigo C130L fridge only but where to put the compressor is the problem.  If you own one, where did you put your compressor?

Our alternative is a Waeco 1080. I am concerned that even though it is double the size of what we currently have, things in the fridge will still freeze if close to the freezer compartment. hmm

Struth Gayle, wish I could help you, but I can't even say Vitrifrigo after my own personal Happy Hour.

And I guess you'd need a crowbar to make all the luxuries fit in your little cubby.

Welcome to this 24 hour 'Happy Hour' amongst a great mob of people...cheers

We have a 130L Vitrifrigo all fridge.
Great fridge.
The compressor and condensor is under a seat next to the fridge. It could be up to 1.5m away from the fridge.
It needs good ventilation, but only to the inside, not outside like most.

Hi,
I Iooked at the Vitrifrigo fridge as well as waeco cl140, both of which have very good reviews. I felt that the vitrifrigo had a better fridge compartment design, however I settled for the waeco 140 as I felt that the vitrifrigo's extrenal compressor took up extra room and needed a well ventilated area. As I already had a ventilated area in the fridge compartment, so I did not see any reason to cut extra holes.
