Same as mine. If you use it as a combined fridge freezer (I have another 35 litre version of same used as a freezer) can you feedback how it goes, & also how you manage it, i.e. whether you use a piece of cardboard/ polystyrene sheet etc to separate frozen & fridge stuff, & what temp you set it at. Although I have the two, my intent is to utilise the flexibility of using just the one if/when food stocks get low enough to make using only one feasible, to save on power. Your experience will be helpful & possibly save me a heap of experimenting.

thanks

No worries.
I'd previously used a 47L version but as the family gets bigger I'm loosing beer space!
In the 47, I normally left the pre-cooked frozen stuff at the bottom where it is cooler with milk, cheese etc up the top.
Haven't separated layers with polystyrene before but that sound like a good idea.....heading away with the full tribe over Labor Day and I'll experiment a bit then...
Depending on the ambient air temperature I ran the 47 between 0 and 2 degrees. I found that to be best for keeping things reasonably frozen at the bottom and having icy cold beer at the top....

Awesome fridge,

Had mine for over 12 months now & love it, ( even think its better than my engel which ive had for about 8 years,

I run my ARB 60 litre at -2 and it works great for all types of food & beer.

Cheers,

It was either that or a full exhaust......a new fridge goes through the finance minister a bit easier!

I reckon that was a pretty good price.
I bought 1 x 60l, 1 x 35l, insulated bag for each, ARB fridge slide for each & a tie down kit for each. I think that all came to around $3500 or $3600, & I got the lot for $3000.

That's pretty much on the money. I got mine for a bit less 'cause one of my mates works at ARB.

2 weeks back with some mates, we were at Loveday Adventure park in SA, having a great old time.
One lad in his 'other branded' Ute got his car air-born off a dune (more than one over the weekend anyway).
The ARB fridge he had in the back lifted out of the ute and dropped hard back in.
Half the Rum and beer cans flew out along with other edible items.
The fridge kept ticking over and kept the beer and rum cold, although they were left a while before cracked.
I was impressed by the torture it took and still kept going strong

[Tonks]

Taking mine up the cape in July,

i just bought a primus mamoth fridge, basically a waeco with a metal body, took it away last weekend and i was very impressed, this is my shop demo i bought to trial and i think they are good enough to sell and much more reasonably priced than the other brands too!!
