You do get what you pay for.
Have a look at MPS Engel Waeco ARB Portable Fridge freezers we have a 40L Engle with the fancy power saving compressor.

A Daewoo matiz costs £10k! I’d have thought the coppers down the back of the sofa plus a handful of belly button fluff thrown in for good measure would have been sufficient to purchase a spanky new Matiz......Probably a similar reason as to why T6s cost about £30k while a Daewoo Matiz costs about £10k
Strangely enough, has anyone ever seen a Daewoo dealership? I haven’t. Wonder where such vehicles actually come from. Can’t really picture someone marching past all of the other dealerships on the Motor Park, saying, nope it’s alright, I know exactly what I want in life, i’m going to get me one of those awesome Matiz’s.
Obviously not referring to the money you’d find down the back of @Fish ‘s sofa, cos that would pay off the debt of several third world countries

they are very expensive, but........... I guess if you have already committed to buying a T6 with the plan to convert to a camper then I'm guessing again that you kinda knew that your new van was gonna cost ya some more bucks.
I'm converting my van bit by bit, scrimping and scraping the coin together inbetween. Its been 11 months so far and although my van is totally habitable now for long periods of time, I know theres more cash to be spent before its finished. The cost of my fridge is the biggest single purchase yet at £450ish for a sale item CRX50. A little bit of vomit came up as I hit the 'add to basket' button! so I really feel your pain old chap. BUT! we just went away for five days off grid in some nice hot weather, and I knew I had spent my money well when I was eating icecream on a secluded (almost) beach with a very very chilled amber ale on the table! can't beat it chap. You gets whats ya pays for in life!

@KombiKommando That seems like a great price, can you tell me where if it is still available. Completely agree with your justification too!
It was a one day online sale, if I sift through my emails I will find the company and post it up here!
Hi,
Looking for recommendations or advice on buying a car fridge, We are taking our van to Spain via Portsmouth this year and since we had a little unexpected bundle of joy in November we are going to have to be able to keep baby food, milk etc chilled, not to mention food and drinks for the older pests. Looking for around 40 litre size and any advice etc would be more than welcome

Compressor fridges use much less 12v battery power than the thermo electric ones.... but are much more expensive.
I'd be interested too in any recommendations from people who run compressor mobile fridges or other.
We run 2x campingas 12/240v mobile fridge/coolbox which are fine when the engine is running.... but will kill the battery dead in 24hrs.

That's great, keep us posted with your thoughts..... I've added it to my basket for now.....
Have you left this running overnight before?
I have a Dometic CRX50 which has a freezer that can be removed for more fridge space if needed.
I run it at level 2 out of 5 which is perfectly adequate, it seems well insulated as isn’t running much as long as the door isn’t left open for ‘food gazing’. I’m running off a leisure battery with solar but I’m guessing it should be adequate overnight on the main battery providing you chill it right down while traveling and limit the door opening to an absolute minimum.

Waeco TF14AU - Fits perfectly between from captains chairs - Been using ours for years and they are cheap
Overnight on a standard T6 battery?
We usually use the 3 pin plug and take into the hotel with us! Im sure I have left them with no problem though- they are only small
