Travel Buddy 12 Volt Oven

[ShaunM]

I've got my Travel Buddy 12 Volt Oven for sale on eBay.

These things are great. Loved cooking up some hot food on the go.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131165775844

Starting bid $100 or Buy it Now for $150.

Located in Hastings VIC.

[4.2_simo]

Mate this would be awesome! Have done some measuring and looks like it fits exactly where I want it! But I won't waste your time, I don't have the cash, have to sell my UHF first which will give the 150. Will check in once it's sold to see if this is still available.
Cheers mate,
Simon

[Bloodyaussie]

I'll take it for that price mate????

[MudRunnerTD]

I'll take it for that price mate????

BA the buy now price on eBay is gone as someone has bid there. Pm Shaun if he does not check here (he should) and get him the end the listing and do the deal. Ending the item as its no longer available is simple to do. I am short of cash or I would have grabbed this yesterday. Would have been great to have one in the GUIV for lunches.

[Stropp]

I sent him a pm yesterday but no reply yet, I offered to buy this and the turbo timer. Looks like it's too late now.

What's wrong with your dick Smith job!? No toasties with a travel buddy.

[Hodge]

At last years 4x4 show they were flogging these off at stupid prices on the last afternoon so they dont have to pack them up. It was 1 per person limit so mate couldnt get 2. They went for 130-140 from memory.

I have discovered since my whole family has been coming on trips I need a bigger oven...... "I think we are going to need a bigger boat!!!!!!!"

Hi guys, just replied to the PM's. Sorry it took me a little while.

[mudski]

What's wrong with your dick Smith job!? No toasties with a travel buddy.

Apart from being small the Dick Smith job is great. Last trip I feasted on mini pies. Before that was crumbed fish fillets.

We are really roughing it aren't we. I haven't done fish yet, fish fingers would be good.

That snow trip we did last year I did crumbed fish fillets. Bloody awesome on a cold night.

[Winnie]

Yeah I went for the old time classic garlic chicken balls... Haha

[Stropp]

Well I was the lucky winner of the oven and the turbo timer :hpfredgeorge1:

Spewing, I bought another one about a month ago for about 50 bucks. So worth it though.

[lucus30]

So I was looking a buying one of these. Where are you guys putting them? How much clearance around the travel buddy do you need so you don't set something on fire ?

[MudRunnerTD]

Its fully insulated. no clearance needed. obviously dont pack something in front of the front door but all other sides and the top are fine.

I have mine mounted permanently in the GQ and it is on a shelf above the fridge and is window height. it faces out the drivers side sliding window and is accessed from that window so i can load up around it without trouble. works a treat.

Good idea. Love sliding windows too bad the GU's didn't have them

Question... Is it 'hard wired' to the battery? How's it set up? Tks.

I think he just means the oven itself is mounted permanently in his car mate. He loves his hot jam donuts Rossco!!!

They come standard with the normal ciggy plug which actually doesn't pop out unlike the waeco plugs.

Not sure if anyone's done an Anderson plug swap though???

Everything in mine gets swapped out for andersons. Best invention ever they are and would certainly swap to one when i get a travel buddy

I disagree...

I thoroughly enjoy stressing that my fridge has turned off whilst travelling and when touring for long distances find my fridge has been off for 5 hours. I love it!!!

And now i just want jam donuts thanks Andy!!!!

Do you think that swapping to Anderson's will void the warranty?

[lucus30]

Do you think that swapping to Anderson's will void the warranty?

Very good question and honestly I'm unsure. Generally if i'm concerned I buy another cord so i can still send it back with an original cord and plug.
That's what i did with my fridge any way

[oncedisturbed]

I dont have the travel buddy but a US 12v oven, forget the brand but it opens up like a lunchbox.

From frozen, will cook a standar meat pie in around 40 mins which is great while wheeling

[Sir Roofy]

rossco ,mate get your self one
when you go off road to the verge
and duck the pot holes your lunch will be ready

i use the anderson plug on mine
and a fuse its straight of the battery and fused
there as well works a treat

OK, you pressured me into getting..... http://www.12-24voltovens.com.au/travel-buddy-12-volt-marine-oven/ lol

I beat you by about 5 mins and have put my order in. hahaha

Interesting to read what the instructions give you the options for power.

I spend too much money on 'roadhouse' food and this'll solve the problem. I can see myself pre-cooking a fair bit of my camping food and vac-sealing it and using the oven heaps. I think I'll be able to cut down my pots and frypan to one of each. lol

Is this product a 'battery drainer' or is it reasonable?

[Winnie]

Hey Rossco. It's a battery destroyer mate! It's okay to use when the car is off, Andy and I did a midnight munchies cookup at Dalhousie for a couple of hours and his battery was okay but you would not want to be doing that if you are not driving every day.
It's perfect to chuck your meal in it when you are driving and a bit before meal time and it's ready when you get to where you're going!

Thanks. I've got 2 x 120w solar panels on the roof that should do the trick.

I've experimented with everything turned on on my truck (Long range HF, CB, hot/cold water unit in pod, etc) in summer and it's all good. 2nd battery stays at 100% during peak sun. Will remember what you said, though. Thanks.

[Winnie]

Oh perfect then mate, you're sorted for hot midnight snacks!

Just remember though Rossco, it's an Oven! A real Oven. If you would not put it in the oven at home then don't put it in this one. Plastics bags are not ideal unless they are designed for heat. Lean cuisines work great, stuff in oil trays like lasagne are great. Frozen Pies upside down are awesome as are jam donuts. Don't over cook the donuts though.

Your Marine oven has a thermostat too to set the temp so you could cook from raw without trouble. It is more than a reheater. You could do a small roast or baked potatoes no problem.

[AB]

Your solar panels will be fine using it during the day Rossco. You'll love it mate, it will change your entire perspective on camp cooking.

Best investment I have made for the family and boys trips.

I was eating spinach and ricotta pastries and tandoori chicken pizzas in the middle of the Simpson for crying out loud...lol

[Bloodyaussie]

I am yet to use mine but to say I am so happy I got one for a birthday present is an understatement.

I am yet to work out how I will mount it as after seeing Rossco's draws he made I will be doing all my draws again and think I will try and get some cage and mount it up high .. maybe above the fridge??

Cant wait for my first proper meal from the thing.

[DX grunt]

Does anybody have any pics of their oven mounted with the supplied brackets?

Just trying to get some idea of where to put mine in the pod when it arrives.

Even a pic of the mounting brackets is a start.

TIA

[MudRunnerTD]

Really easy to mount Rossco, they come with 2 mounts that are like a Z. The top slots into a slot cut in the side of the oven and there is a hole in the bottom and you just screw it down.

Have a closer look at the roast when he puts it in the oven bag then into the oven. Its still got the packaging with price tag on it. And no steam when cutting it.

Interesting... I'll have to have a look... Then again just because that's staged for the camera doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't do it... Would probably just take all day lol

Can't wait to use my Travel Buddy marine oven.

For all you west aussies, I'll be on the move between probably Kalbarri, but more likely Horrocks, to Bremmer Bay, over a 3 week period.

I prefer free camping, so if you know any good spots, I'll seriously consider. lol.

Bitumen access preferred. PML.

Millers Point is a top free camp spot. Turn right onto dirt road (Millers Point Rd) off of the Bremer Bay Rd. It’s a fishers camp with a few shacks & long drop dunnies, & a number of waterfront spots to camp. Was very productive Black Bream fishing when we were there. Heaps of pelicans to keep you entertained.
