It's not an exclusive club.
Just go to the counter, give them some details, email address, etc and they'll give you a card.
Can do it online too http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/raysrewards/

Yeah, I haven't looked into the specifics and can't vouch for what brand is better.
But it looks like a lot of fridge for the cash, could even be too big depends on what you need.

Well. Fridge for cool stuff. Freezer to take a week of home cooked meals. I'm always out bush and the food IF available is always s**t and along the lines if windings. Running 145w solar into back pod (ex Telstra) and the idea of running one unit, instead of 40 l engel fridge. And 40 l engel on freeze makes more sense.
It's all work related. Every week I'm out in top end remote communities.
Will come in handy camping too when I get time.
Couple frozen pies. Couple of home cooked meals etc. then into the DSE type camp stove at smoko and hot lunch when you want it. Well that's the plan.

Given this post mate if you are claiming it on your tax then id be running with the 2 separate fridges. one set to freeze and the other for fridge. Much more efficient use of space and power and if one shyts itself on day 2 then you have the backup until you can get somewhere. i did the Madigan line with a couple last year that do a heap of outback travel and run 2 fridges just like that. we had Icecream on night 7 in the desert! it was great.
Combined with ta Travel Buddy oven and you are on a winner for sure. i would not even look at a DSE type oven for your use. Travel Buddy all the way mate. nothing comes close.
Also when doing day trip you can then just take a single 40lt out with you instead of an empty 80lt.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Well there's plenty out there to choose from, I'm sure some of the fellas on the forum would have some opinions on what brands are the best.
I was just impressed by the size and price.
Sounds like whatever you get it definitely needs to be hardcore & reliable.
