Cooling performance of fridges (Engel etc and 3 way) - some numbers - Page 2

e9999 · 09-06-05, 02:42 PM

another neg for the absorption fridge. I tested ours running off a fully-charged 130 Ah deep cycle battery and it only lasted about 12 hours or so until the battery was almost fully discharged. Probably more like 9 hours until the cooling became minimal.
(OTOH, it'll run for about a month on a 20 lbs prop tank...)

Anyone have any experience using the twozone chiller compartment to change their Engel to a fridge/freezer combo?

That Two-Zone kicks ass! Any idea on price? Availability in the US? The rollers are a good idea as well!

Found their ad in an Australian 4X4 magazine and looked up their website. Maybe we can get someone to become a US dealer.

It cost (retail) for about US$300 for the twozone and another US$100 for the bag.
