Found a wine Cooler at the Flea Markets
Permalink  

We love the Sunday Flea Markets, there's hardly a Sunday goes by with-out finding a bargain,

A couple of weeks ago I found this wine Cooler, it runs on both 240v & 12v holds 15 cans of Beer or 3 bottles of wine,

it has a steady temp of only 4deg, and it's also a warmer, A little ripper that will go in the Caravan next trip away. biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

The Sheeler was asking ( would you believe )  $ 8.00  for it, 

Along came the kiwi Bloke, home came this little beauty for $ 4.00  "Yep"  $ 4.00

One Happy vegemite      K.J.  biggrin

Oooohhhhh, that would be perfect to fill the empty spot in front of the passenger's seat in the Hino, but KJ, it's wasted with those yellow cans. Gotta be those green ones, or anything from Coopers or, as Dave says, some RED....

O.K. this picture should make you guy's Happy,

Although I can't say when we will get to Greens, we have a few plans ahead of us first.

We will be flying to the States to pick up our 40' Motor Home first, we will have it converted over there to right hand drive, so it may take a couple of Months before it lands here.

"OH' one other thing,  this will happen straight after we win LOTTO biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

You have a large battery capacity to run it have you? They run at 38 W max, they are running constantly when the ambient temperature exceeds 25 degrees. Also with a capacity of only 5 litres there will probably no room for anyone elses consumption.

http://ae.waeco.com/5707_426.php - details of the unit.

I don't see a real problem there,  while traveling the fridge runs on 12v and then if one wants to drink more than  3 bottles at once, the fridge can be flicked over to 240v, then running the Genny for a couple of hours, gives you another three bottles of Wine, or 15 cans of beer at a nice 4 deg.

After all, what would one expect for $ 4.00 !!
