that tips on using the ice box so you can have a cold fridge is beating the purpose of me spending a lot of money upgrading from ice box to portable fridge.

Here's a Cracking Idea.. Don't make fridge covers in Dark Blue and Black colours.. Lighter colours are some much better when the sun hits it .. 😉.

Lovely tips, Ive seen a few Utube vids they did testes and there fridges, they were more efficient without a cover in the back of the 4wd as the cover does not let the heat get away from the fridge

A full fridge operates better than an empty one. Keep the windows down and use a sunshade on the front screen as well. Air flow and lower cabin temps make a massive difference

Packing a fridge with items you want to keep really cold and not needed go to the bottom and things that you want to chill go to the top like lettuce, cucumber, cheese, butter & stuff. This is useful if you don't have a freezer compartment as the stuff packed at the bottom will almost freeze but not at the top. Also an empty fridge can't freeze air so if you take a tin of drink out put a warm one in, keep the fridge as full as possible.

Also replace the 12v plug with an Anderson plug the fridge will use less power due to less resistance in the plug and you won't blow fuses

Also get a 'wire holder' for your fridge wire, that keeps the wire away from fridge slides

I can understand this, our fridge is mounted in the left rear of our prado, the car is parked outside, and the left side gets all the western afternoon sun, our battery soon goes to under the low voltage setting, now we have the proper king's cover, and the window shade, I'm certain we have fixed rgis issue, we leave our fridge on 24/7, we purchased a king's charging system, which runs from the car battery, with heavy cables, through a modulator, to the batter in the rear, thanks your vidoe's are always on point.

Great video. Comprehensive, step by step and no condescension!

Great trick for your ice box is to use salt ice if available. It's colder, stays as ice for longer. Just remember to wipe off the top of your drink before a big scull of your favorite bevy!

Opening a chest fridge like this doesnt let much of the cold out at all. Cold air is heavier than hot air, so it sits in the cavity. Its like water.

You should also keep the car open as much as possible. A fully sealed/closed car will reach crazy hot temps in summer. So leave the windows down a bit and park it under shade if possible, or leave the doors open if your near the car.

Haha I recognise that man! 😆 Saved my ass and went above and beyond helping me sort out my fridge issue! This man is a bloody legend. Thanks again!!!

good tips. Should also check voltage drop at fridge and battery when running. poor connections can give full voltage when not under load.

That is a good idea about the drink asky if you have the room for it but unfortunately I don't have the room.

A janitors retractable key spool makes a good wire holder.

You won't get voltage drop without any load! Otherwise, bonza!

Very well explained thanks mate. Really like your videos.

A tip from My mom, to extend battery time: Forget cooling elements, they take up space! Deep freeze a bottle of milk, and trow it into the fridge before you hit the road. It will release it's energy slowly, and it will not spoil the milk....

Can't wait to get mine!

How do you reverse the lid to the fridge?

02:14 is it just me or was he not pressing any buttons? 🤣

Thanks for the Tips bud very helpful.🙂

Thank u solve my probleme with my 12v probleme

Good video especially with the current housing crisis

Where can I get a plug for the freezer so I can plug it straight into a wall outlet? I have no idea what they're called and can't find one anywhere.

Thanks for the CRACKINGGGGG ideas and info ,,,tick

at small tip for precooling thiings before putting them in icebox or fridge, is putting is ind moving water, like at kreek, stream, or river. No matter the metode, the lower the tempertur of gods befor they go in the icebox/fridge the longer the ice/power last, and de farster the goods get even colder .

I want to put a 12v fridge in the back of my camper. Question: would additional ventilation be required when the rear hatch is closed, to prevent the fridge from overheating?

Error light?? Not on my Engel

I have a camping fridge/freezer. Running as freezer have three deep cycle 150 ampr and of lots of solar but in the morning no start of freezer down to ten volt help have lots off cold things in it newish batteries 6-12 mths old

Good video but your voltage drop test was flawed as you need to have load when you test for voltage

If i am running a 75lt kings dual zone fridge with 2x100ah agm battery's is a 200w solar blanket enough to keep them charging

I hope someone from over seas is watching this thinking "what does cracking mean?"

What is his mates name again? 3:44

My 12 volt refrigerator had an E1 error code. Not sure if error codes are the same for the different brands on the market. Leaving the refrigerator disconnected from current didn't solve my problem. After getting the error code to appear i touched a second button that was opposite of the other on button and the temperature showed up on the display and the error code has stayed off. I made sure that the refrigerator was level because the error code for E1 on one brand of refrigerator was for the fan. I had been moving the refrigerator around reorganizing where I was placing the unit in a different area which could have had a more than 30% pitch causing the error code E1 and problems with the fan. Hope this helps anyone in the future.

These videos are great and very informative. It should have way more views unlike nikkietutorials stupid coming out video that has 23 million views

well done

Have you or any one you know ever used a household solar panel on your 4x4 , if not, do you know if it would work ok??

My fridge is staying at 11 degrees and is not changing temperature. What is going on?

Love all them videos 🤘🤘

You made the same mistake as many campers do. You measured the open voltage at the end of the cable. This is incorrect. You have to do the measurement using the “running” fridge as a load…. Then probe your feed wire with sharp probes to see the voltage. Or use an adapter & probe the connector. The more current being drawn by the load at the end, the more volt drop you will get. This is why you need to use a thick copper cable. The current carrying capacity of a copper cable eg 40A is misleading. Go for 80A cable for less volt drop. See this video link for a better understanding. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdyUlquWuMfadY0.html Cheers….. TJ in West Australia

Say man I live in my van got a 12v cooler. Without plugging into the cig lighter how can I give it 24/7 power?

Great advice, thanks.

Nice tips

Does coolbox comes with insulation cover?

Keep your fridge cold by not opening it and bring an additional ice box for your food and drinks. Haha!

Thanks for the great info mate

During daylight and whilst traveling… crank your temp down to -4. Change your night time temp to +4.

G'Day Legend. Some cracking tips there

Clickbait. A more appropriate title: "Advice for getting the most out of your car fridge"

what TEMP settings do you run at?

Cracking!

Where do you get fridge covers from? can you get custom fridge covers? I got a 12v blizzardbox cooler

Awesome

Cheers much mate:)

A "Cracking" video

If you want it to run colder, get rid of the cover for starters, testing shows that a fridge runs cooler without a cover.

1st

Why do you make a kkkkchhhhhhhhhh noise when your say the letter C ?

Can't wait to get mine!

What degree do you set the fridge on to keep it cool
