Hey Bruce – Yes it is the Engel fridge/freezer. We used it on the road for 2+ years straight with a cover and it was excellent.
It’s still going strong. The only problem is the hinges have become weak and need a fix-up.

Is the fridge the Engel combi fridge/freezer, if how do you like it? Does it keep the frozen goods frozen in the freezer, without freezing the goods in the fridge?

Hi Mike

Yep, there is a 57 litre fridge behind the passenger seat at the end of the drawer.

Hi Guys,
I didn’t see a mobile fridge anywhere in the spec, did you have one? I would be interested to read your opinions, as I am a refrigeration engineer, and would like to design a unit that has some grunt in high ambient conditions.

Thanks Martin! A poll, hey? Interesting… we’ll mull it over

Point taken about the heat of the sun beating through the sun roof… there are so many things on the mind that, that, actually didn’t occur. #ohdear

whhhhhhadabout a metal sunroof. same material as the roof itself. that we can still pop out of to see lions but doesn’t let any heat/light through?

or perhaps a cheaper, more sensible option would be to just crawl out onto the roof!?

Looking good… I like all the planning you are doing. How about a poll so that we get to vote for the various mods and prioritize them for you?
That way you will live in luxury without spending money of sunroofs that will bake you in the African heat
