Fridges... again.


Never heard of them, Engel are good and I have never heard a bad thing about them.

I googled it: http://www.equipt1.com/i/fridges/national-luna
Looks like they are all top loaders and not cheap.

I just purchased an ARB 50 quart freezer. I really like it.

The ARB and Dometic are both great. Same with Engel. National Luna is even a step above but too expensive for me. I have been enjoying my 63qt Edgestar. If it fails I'd probably go ARB



In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Mood: Pole Line Road postponed due to injury

My Dometic 65dzus is still going strong!

Hard at work at my friend's house in Playas de Tijuana. I just brought 2 cooked Chickens back yesterday, and they were good!

I paid just under $800 for mine at Camping World.com

Mood: Have Baja Fever

Hi Ken, with the recent thread mentioning someone being fined at the US border for having eggs (illegal along with pork and raw chicken), did you get an earfull or need to tell the officer cooked is permitted (like my lime incident a few years ago)?

No problems at all, David. The eggs were cooked in CG's kitchen on Dec. 24th (along with a Chile Relleno, beans, and fresh corn tortillas!). The chickens were rotisserie cooked over a flame, and seasoned to perfection!

Transporting raw meats are not just a nuisance, but not permitted. The officials in Tecate have looked inside of my Dometic in the past, so I know its not worth trying to bring back fruit, or uncooked meats. But, the Dometic freezer would definitely keep my foods frozen, if needed.

Thanks, Ken.
I'll check those out.


Mine is the 65 Dual Zone by Dometic (the US parent company of Waeco-Austrailia)

I looked at those pretty hard. Their energy use is much higher but it may not be a consideration.
Not gonna buy one until April-ish.


Hit me up and I'll let you know how mine is. Two golf cart batteries now and 300w solar, the freezer is set at 5f and the batteries don't even budge.
