Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

So Goerapan is coming up and I am going to need a new refrigerator/freezer (preferably a combo?) for the trip.

This is not a permanent installation, and I would rather have something I can remove. I already have a solar panel and 400W AC/DC power supply. Chances are this will only be used maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Obviously, I need to get it before Goerapan, so no back orders. Any suggestions out there?

PS: Obviously this should be under equipment, not vehicle accessories.. sorry. Admins please help?

Snomaster 6oL dual been serving me well for 12 years , I bought another one last year 42L which I now only use for freezing da meat

Shalom

I can concur on the Snomaster. Very good quality and as good as any other brand, and aftersales service is next level good

I have the national luna 72l twin in my van. Very nice unit and still working well after 5 years.

The campmaster in my vehicle is now not getting cold - about 8 years old.

Have also only heard good things about snomaster.

The Flex fridges look like re-branded Dometic / Waeco fridges (which are good). Anybody know if this is the case? Their prices are quite good....

if there is interest...

and excellent after sales service, from those i have spoken to who have needed it

Having tested for the weekend... I have to say, not a bad little machine.

Ran on 400Wh worth of battery for over 11 hours (ok I only opened it 3 times so that will make a big difference) and kept the freezer at -18 and the refrigerator at 5 the whole time. I recommend using DC power rather than AC (as the battery lasted much longer when I switched over after 4 hours). It wasn't the hottest weekend and as I said: I only opened it a few times, but all-in-all it does the job and doesn't kill my batteries (too much.)

My only gripe is that the little remote that comes with it doesn't work at all. I even charged it for 8 hours and still nada. Meh.. I didn't need it anyways, but it would have been nice if all the parts in the box actually works.

Does the remote not switch on, or not link to the fridge. Mine works great on my Snomaster. It must be something small
