fridge / freezer protectors


We run 2 engels ( 1 as freezer, other fridge ) both within those insulated travel bags.....great......NO, the other day i needed to pull the freezer one out of the vehicle, all good, once out i removed "the bag". the freezer was swimming in wet condensation on all sides, the water was trapped between the bag and the freezer, for how long i don't know, but surface rust was developing as a consequence........BEWARE

A sure sign the fridges insulation is very poor & high humidity. Especialy if you use them as freezers the foam insulation can also become water loged. Pulled a Waeco apart that had been used as a freezer for a long period of time, & the foam insulation was full of water like a spounge.

Is the fridge using polyurethane foam? It has a shorter term insulation advantage over styrene. In the long run styrene maintains a better R value due to less moisture getting into the foam.

This seems to be a common problem in tropical areas.We leave ours off all the time now. No more sweating or harbour for bloody ants and their eggs.
