hehe,
Me and some of the guys did the driveway drinking thing for the longest time. Now I live in the country again, so I step out, light a fire, pop open a guiness, and shoot the bottles from last night.
Seriously though, I got my Engal 45 from EE a little while ago, along with the transit bag. I love it. It's keeping my carrot juice cool in the garage right now. It gets much colder than a normal fridge, and it's built like a tank. The extra height has come in handy, although, never having used a 35, I can't actually compare.
The transit bag is a marvel to me. Someone definately has too much time on their hands. It is crafted with extreme care, and sort of reminds me of a Mechanix glove as far as the way it is built, or a fine backpack. If you buy the fridge, buy the bag if you can, trust me. I squeezed it in on John's advice, and I'm glad I did.
Cheers,
Kennith

Does anyone have the big boy Engel 65? Wondering how they fit in the back of a D1 for extended trips.

Upon the advice of John Lee I bought the 45 engel...and the transit bag...everything everyone has said about this thing is true...It almost should be the first purchase if owning a disco...I'm well pleased...
One question though...best method to hardwire this puppy?...I'mk using the cig lighter attachment right now...but I wanna run a hardwire from the battery under the hood...2 conductor 8 guage being as its a decent distance is a no brainer...but shouyld I just add a cig lighter outlet to the end of that or cut the engel cord and make irt truly hardwired?
TIA

I would rather modify the 12V power socket than the Engel's plug. That way, you could use the Engel in other vehicles without having to purchase multiple 12V power cords.
Sounds like a plan John...
Twas very fast shipping for sure...I honestly didnt expect to see it till next week being ground and all...Any idea on the ETA of the powertank?...
Oh next week...synth winch line

I put a power socket on the side panel- opposite the original power socket in the rear. Works great and the power socket comes in handy for stuff like charging a cell phone while the truck is turned off as well. Mounting the slide lock base is the next step- Making a wooden floor is a PITA.
Solution for the loose lid problem. Engel makes a hinge lock that prevents the lid hinge from separating, but allows the lid to be removed by depressing a small tab. Cost is $4.00 AUS on their website. Fits only the 32l and the 40l fridgzers. Don't know if it is available in the US. Just a thought.

Anyone try the new Coleman Stirling Cooler? CostCo.com has them for $390.00. It has a capacity of 26 quarts and has 5 cooling levels. Highest temp is 50 deg. F and lowest temp goes down to 0 deg F. Pretty chilly! Coleman retails them for $599.00 Feedback? I know it isn't an ARB/Engel, but the price seems pretty good. Only drawback I found was the operational angle limit was 12 deg. I know the Engel/ARB angle is higher, but how much higher?
