To put it simply - Absofriggenlutely Brilliantastic !!!
It's not often that a company makes a product that is such a perfect fit for your vehicle and your family - but Waeco has done it. We travel with one of the rear seats in - for the feral kid - so a set of drawers and fridge slide are not an option. This Waeco unit is a perfect fit - with a little space down the side for the 240 volt rectifier and enough room for the kids in the middle row of seat to still recline a little.
The height is ideal as the top of the fridge sits almost level with the window sills - just keeps it out of the way of thieving eyes.
It looks like a bit of a snug fit - but that suits me perfectly. Even bouncing around on Matthew's tracks in the Blue Mountains it never moved.
I've reversed the door so it opens this way - and the controls and motor are at the back. I like to be able to check the temp etc - at a glance - from the back window and I prefer the motor's fans to face the rear. That also gives me an opportunity to fit a small storage locker in the triangular space between the seat and the fridge - but more of that later.
There's a load of storage in here. We froze up meals and parcels of meat in meal sized portions. The middle section handled milk, drinks, veges etc with ease. The smaller section above the motor works beautifully for butter, eggs, cheese etc. .... and the real bonus - It holds 143 cans so Bek will have to get used to using the smaller fridges in the CT. 8)
Everything tucks away neatly and the little plastic window in the bag means the controls are both visible and accessible.
The 240 Volt recifier is easily accessible. The next step is to run another power socket down here so there will be a minimum of fiddling.
This works better at night - but the lights are easily visible through this section of the window.
This unit is bullet proof - and worth it's weight in gold. We only travelled with it for the last 6000 Kms of our trip and could not believe how we had coped over the first 9000 Kms without it.
Thanks Pedro.
Cheers
