Hi there, still using the Bushman! It is a great car fridge and is very efficient power wise. The only thing I have difficulty with is large fleshy things like lettuce. If you put them too low in the fridge they suffer from the cold but baskets being the way they are, it is hard to store large items up near the top where it is less cold. Otherwise I’ve been really happy with it. Worked brilliantly on our last trip in the tropics in June as well. Cheers
Using the 52l configuration for a camping trip bringing variaty of foods from ice cream to fruits, my question is that will ice cream stored at the bottom stay frozen for let's say 3 days? What temperature setting should i run to maintain the ice cream frozen yet not too cold for the rest of the produce. Thank you.
Hi Alex, it’s all about how you pack items into the fridge. I set mine at -4deg C and everything at the bottom stayed frozen. On the next level you want things that need to stay cold but not frozen. The top shelf is where you want softer items like fruit and veg. The only problem is the basket is not all that big. It’s a bit of trial and error I’m afraid. It works ok but it just takes a bit of effort to move things between the levels. Overall though I’m very happy with the fridge. Cheers
Hi Benny, I had a couple of hiccups with the camper but it’s close, just a few more jobs which I can’t do to go and then I’ll have the big reveal. Thanks for following. Cheers Gary

G'day Gary, would love to hear your thoughts on how the fridge has been performing and if you are still using it. Cheers

Good choice of fridge. Time to see the camper in action?
