Portable fridge freezer
Permalink  

I have been doing some research on Portable fridge freezes and have come up with the Evakool Fridgemate 95l ( Danfoss Compressor, 5 yr Warranty,Cheaper than other popular models and Queensland, Australian made or put together ).

What do you think of the Fridgemate and what do you have ?

As the Brisbane Caravan and Camping show is only a week away,I'm hoping to get a good deal at the show.

 Can't seem to use your link but if it is 175 ltr, I think it might be too big. Thanks mr glassies.

Does anyone Free camp with one of these ? What I need to know is, what are you using to keep Battery or Batteries charged up.Is Solar good enough,and what size panels are you using. I think the fridge draws 4.2amps.
