An interesting add on compartment for fridges, doesn't look like they have one for the new style ARB's though.

And Engel makes a nice wireless thermometer for those interested in keeping an eye on fridge temps.

edit: batteries included!

I have the wireless thermometer, bought it from Wil at Sierra Expeditions a few years back for my old school ARB fridge.
Works great!

I wonder if he can get the add on as I didn't see it on the Sierra Expeditions web site
That would be awesome for my Norcold MRFT60 (AKA Engel MRT60)

I prefer a wired temp. It takes up no space in fridge and the batteries don't die from the cold(even lithium)

Just velco it on 1/4 of the $ too.

Nice But 1/2 cost of my Fridge On E-bay
My CF50 Waeco 50L cost me 550.00 taxes in , with blanket & spare 12v DC cord.

I can't see 350.00 for this..

Just got en email back from TwoZone. They are in the stages of making a prototype for the ARB fridges. It will be interesting to see the costs of these vs. buying another fridge.

Some pretty bad reviews on that particular model.

Just buy another fridge, for you it'll still be 2 for the price of 1

Thats what i see as in price. There's just a extension & a basket .

The trailer joints were blowing out the fridges & blankets . The larger ones were not selling as well ,,so were cheaper, I can lift the 50L with food only, plus size matters .

Yeah.. you need to take everything with a grain of salt. I've had mine for over 5 years and it's worked flawlessly with a battery change. Besides it's only $10 and more about the style not the particular model. You can find something like this at most auto parts stores or wally world/target/etc.

I purchased a Two Zone way back when the cost was not so high. It is a nice way to hold more goodies as well as set the temp colder so that frozen things in the bottom can stay frozen. I added a bitty little fan to help circulate the colder air from the bottom

I took a PVC threaded flange and drilled four holes with a number 43 tap sized drill for 4-40 screws

I sealed the gaps with some white bathtub RTV/caulk

Test fit before gluing

Ta-Da!

I could measure a 10 degree difference with a 74 deg ambient temp. Both the fridge and the TwoZone had insulated covers.
