Hay mate. Mind popping over to the intros. Just something we ask all members.

Yeah will do.
Sounds like crap but happens more than you'd think

I've got a CFX65 and haven't had a problem with it, on the move over from cairns at the start of the year I was running it for days just on an arkpak.

I've got the cfx50,got it when they first came out.
No problems so far,the basket makes it easy to fill,just load it up in the kitchen then drop it into the fridge.
I think a cover is on the cards as it's showing a few marks

Thanks ben, good idea about always removing the basket to fill the fridge.



I picked up a Waeco CFX-40 today, with a bag and wireless display for $926, too good a deal to pass.


It all fits into the back of a GU Wagon perfectly, even lines up so well with factory mounting points , i can secure the fridge with just one ratchet strap.

The fan vents are in the ideal spot, as is the power cord angle, the MP3 pocket at the front is just perfect for a bottle opener

The whole unit sits below the window line, so visibility does not change from inside the car, outside the car, the fridge display is high enough, you can read the fridge temp looking through the rear barn door window.

The fridge door just clears the roof , with the bag on, the bag door flap will just hit the roof when extended fully vertical, it works great as a door stay if you push it up high enough.


Im testing the fridge now, its night time and raining, so not exactly a good test, but so far it seems pretty good in all other aspects.

You guys that own fridges, do you turn them on a few hours before you need them, or run it overnight ?

And do you only fill with stuff that is already cold ?


Or does anyone just put hot stuff in a hot fridge, and start driving ?


Also, what temp do you guys set the fridge to run at, do you set them colder to start with, then up the thermostat to not freeze everything ?
