    I used to use a 12v compressor fridge, it cost about £600. It Used 48w
    Running. I now use a domestic mini fridge from British heart second hand, running off my efficient 1500W inverter and it is the same 48w consumption ! Just buy an efficient low standby current invertor and save tons of money.

    @CampervanMatt 4 года назад +2

    I've got the very same CRX50 and aside from the dreaded voltage fault, it's been running perfectly. It maintains a chill 3c whilst drawing hardly any amps, my 200w solar panels being more than enough to keep it running all year round. FYI as I discovered the CRX50's do have a common fault, after an indeterminate amount of time (8 months in my case), they will stop working and all the lights will start flashing. The solution is simple, replace the 12v supply cables with 6mm thick cables, with an inline fuse, direct to the leisure battery. Not sure why this happens, but it's been running a-okay since.

    Obviously avoided Santa’s naughty list this year, so you got a great present - you could even say it’s a really cool one ❄️❄️❄️ Your happiness on opening the box was clear to see, and then it evolved into a Cinderella pantomime as “it fits” 👠👠👠. Was that just luck with the dimensions or designed that way to eventually fit the fridge when you got it? Remember heat rises, so would it be better to push air in at the bottom with the fan and exhaust it behind the drivers seat? 42 Watts at 12 Volts is 3.5 Amps.

      Santa had nothing to do with it I actually got nothing from him this year lol I’ve wanted one of these for years so when I build this van I made that space for it my live is now complete ☺️👍

    With the length of cable you have used you are likely to get problems with the fridge, the cables should be 6mm to prevent under-voltage.

    Great upgrade your treating the old girl to some goodies, do you think having the fire above will make it work harder I guess heat rises just curious, guess you would only know if you tried it somewhere else.

    Hi Mel.. Happy New Year.. you should have put a longer wire on the fridge, as in the future you might want to pull it out again for some reason and that way you don't need to take the seat apart again.. Just a thought..

      Yep 👍 but it is on legs and it sitting on about 30mm of insulation and yes I did lots of experiments with it before installing it if you go back through my videos you will see what I did trust me I planned on fitting this fridge from the beginning of my build 👍😊👍

    Hi Mel.
    I dont wan't to sound a smart ass. But the oven on top? When you got that going, that will get the fridge running overtime. I know Heat rises but i think i would have choosen a different Location for the fridge. Have a good Sunday.

    Hi Mel, I've been thinking about your condensation problem. Not your's specifically, but for all van dwellers. Seems to me if you used your woodstove until you went to bed, reallt firing it up, and then using a little ceramic heater all night at a low setting, with a window cracked, you wouldn't have condensation. Seems you have access to house power a few feet away at present so you wouldn't be draining any batteries.
