New to Camping 2
Can someone recommend a good fridge (12v/240v) that I can fit behind the passenger seat. Bear in mind I have a Multivan and not a fully fitted camper

Try the Waeco A40 2 Way Fridge – 12v / 240v has carry handles making it easily portable and the controls have a cover to stop damage... will need some form of release/fixing to stop it moving around in transit!

Having a purely electric fridge will limit you to camping on sites with an electric supply. Do you have an electric hookup?

Re: New to Camping 2
Waeco have just launched the new 12V CF18 Compressor fridge using their compressor rather than the Danford thus bringing the price down to around £220-00. I have used the CF18 for over 8 years and would never ever revert to the Absorption 3 way type, absolutely no comparison in terms of performance. The consumption of the CF18 is 36W with a duty cycle of 10% (simply put it only switches on 10% of the time it is on). I have used mine for several days off the leisure battery without any problems and it freezes in temperatures that a 3 way fridge would struggle to cope with. No problems with condensation rotting the floors and no need to cut holes in the bodywork. If you can afford around £500 then get the new Engel compressor fridge which consumes a measly 1.5A and designed to run off leisure batteries/240V a.c. It can be left on permanently with the aid of a suitable solar panel and the choice for most marinecraft installations.

Re: New to Camping 2
Thanks for the advice guys. I don't have hookup as yet but as I don't want to cut holes anywhere it will be a lead hanging out the window!!
