April 2022 rolling out now: check 1st post. 3 Models 25% so far.

Have to work out numbers but the idea is the same; just offer a package deal and save people from having to research their own power bank, fridge and panels.

One package to put the refrigeration issue to rest for good, and save others the gray hairs and the months of outdoor testing I went through.

They make solar panels?

Nope but it does not have to all come from ICECo. I will be testing a bunch of solar panels this Spring.

In addition to normal GB stuff, I suggested this to Lu as a new deal for this year. Will keep everyone updated on what he says.

your 4% battery life gives me anxiety. rofl

This sounds great! Will any other accessories such as insulated covers or voltage boosters/stabilizers be discounted?

I will provide the full list of inventory available for Mud (that they can discount for us), as soon as it becomes available. Me and Lu have been playing phone tag as we have both been very busy.

Soon I’ll give you guys my YouTube channel where I am setting up for a few projects, and update you on there; easier for me this way.

Patience boys, I am aiming to start orders beginning of April/fingers crossed. I will share available inventory this month and share coupon code/official price list when it is live.

The cover for the regular ICECO VL line is not bad, the one for the VLPro line not so much. Does not seem to have much ”insulation” value and zippers are iffy at best. Also, they did not put much thought on how to handle the best feature of the VLPro series which is dual open lid so invarI ably it works great on one side and not so much from the other. Finally, only has one pocket and so based on fridge orientation it may or may not be useful. It was very unimpressed and returned mine.

MC70, thx for the warning, although in my case I expect I'll still get at least one so that if it really is unacceptable at least I'll have a good pattern to sew up something proper for myself.

Not saying I'll be happy to confirm that the cover truly sucks as comprehensively as you report but maybe I can rub some at-least-I-didn't-pay-full-price on it.

Don’t think I forgot! I just know Lu is a busy man so I try not to bug him too much.

April is not far away. I plan on putting in an order for myself this year! I gave my TR and VL to friends/family.

I am now eyeing that sweet Pro model!

I'm in for a VL60Pro AND a new slide as my Costway fridge finally bit the dust and the slide for it is too narrow/short for the larger VL60Pro. No need for a battery pack though as I already use one.

I have numerous little minions to keep fed off-grid, so am planning to pick up a couple of VL75ProD units, at least 1 cover, and at least 1 battery. Would prly buy a solar power kit or 2 if offered and also capable of charging a 12V lead-acid vehicle battery.

Thx for the update SharpeCat. Details are eagerly awaited!

 

[SharpeCat]

April starts this week, which means me and Lu will be scrambling last minute like always. And like always, hopefully, we will get through this and get everyone on their way to enjoying a cold one in the wild. I'm looking forward to some beach trips with my autonomous fridge/freeze that follows me around. My plan on helping ICECO sell fridges is to offer free water to beachgoers in July, while my remote-controlled ICECO buggy/cart follows me around.

Can your fridge do that?

She's going to need a lift and bigger tires, maybe an AHC system/crawl control XD.

I'm heading on a trip 5/27, think we can get an order in and delivered by that time or should I just forget about dreaming about the luxury of a fridge vs a cooler full of watery ice? lol

Should not be a problem boss, that’s a whole 2 months away!

Do we know how long this is expected to run?

The reason I ask is that I'm presently a bit thin in the checking acct but I've a fat paycheck due 04/08, entirely free and clear of non-ICECO-related financial commitments.

At least 8 days, I hope. I try not to count chickens before any eggs hatch, but previous GBs have ran about a month each. #fingerscrossed

Where do you need the info on what we want?

I want a vl45

Hopefully it will be another coupon code for their site. Easier for me that way; I don’t have to do much!
