60 litre tropical rated camper fridges

[muletopia]

You could have a look at the Dometic fridge in 60L :http://www.dometic.com/enau/Asia-Pac...ctdataid=68387

Under 500mm wide. You will need to purchase their tropical fan kit as the fridge itself is not tropical. We have a bigger version and are more then happy with it. Works great on gas & 240v. 12V is more for travelling and will not cool food/beers down but will keep cold while travelling. Gas is most efficient.

Thanks Nisshead,
I was unaware of the "tropical fan kit" for these fridges,how much extra space do they take?
I guess that they push air up the back of the fridge so that correct installation with baffles and side insulation and sealing is required. Words of advice would be appreciated.

I think the kit is just a fan, thermistor or a pyro. The fan kicks in when the temp on the condenser gets to a certain temp. From memory I think the fan draws the hot air out. I didn't install it as Jayco installed it in the factory, but I know it was a separate kit to turn it into a tropical rating. I will see if I still have the install instructions in the caravan.

I only remember it kicking in once beginning of this year on a trip when it was around 36 deg.

Good on you Nisshead,
That is sounding promising, if you can find the install instructions that would be great.

Ok Here's the instructions. They are very basic and don't give too much away.

Let me know how you go and if you need photos of the install let me know...no dramas.
