I'm looking to change the 240v fridge currently in my van for a three way fridge.
Just seen these on ebay and wondering if they are suitable?

not much apart from the colour
You'll need the 'connection set' for 30mb
and a way of venting the flue gas outside

It was mentioned in the description
the 30-mbar model may only be used in combination with the ASK-30 connection set.
I would imagine that's a propane regulator.
but make sure to be
safe

I surfed around a little and could find nothing about venting from inside vehicle. Seems it might be a stand-alone fridge for outside use on gas. If that's the case, I wouldn't use it inside on gas.

Just thought I'd check as it £100 cheaper than Electrolux and the colour matches my interior
Thinks that look to good to be true and all that..........

That's good to know. Sounds like a nice way to get a fridge at reasonable cost.
Now I'm curious if the chest models have flue pipe. Always like chest units because the cold settles to bottom and stays in when you open top to get things out.
