Deal from compact appliance was too good to pass up. Open box but a few scratches doesn't bother me. Free shipping. No idea how many they have but its this weekend only.

I tried your link and it returned an invalid URL message and directed me to their home page. By chance what model did you choose?

I trust that such extravagance is motivated by the need for more ice for refreshments while jeeping?

Whatever the reason enjoy. One of my biggest logistical issues while planning a camp out is keeping frozen things frozen long enough.

Well on the bright side, you'll always be ready for Y2K.

Remember that!

I don't know what it is with links from that site. It is hard to make a good mixed drink without ice. Its the 43qt I think.

Woo hoo, it came today. I had to help the fed ex lady unload it. It not light. Construction looks pretty good. Looks brand new, no dents or scratches. Plugged it in to 110 and half an hour came out and it was already down to 15 degrees. Now I just have to figure out where to mount it.

Btw, what temps do most of you run, fridge mode and freeze mode?

Dunno if you read the thread on that fridge at expo but make sure to try it on 12V (with a good plug) as well. A fair number of them have came with loose connections that need to get reconnected better before they are reliable.

When I go for a 5-7 day trip I start out in freezer mode and transfer prepared food to the 3-way daily. Good luck with the new purchase.

I have read the thread over at EP, all 68 pages of it. Right now its running on 110 and I'm getting some of that new plastic smell, never been run before smell. I think I'll let it run a few days before I toss it in the camper.

Craig,

You asked where to mount your freezer.
I don't remember if you have a Hawk or a Grandby.

Attached is a photo of my Engel mounted in the Grandby.
