Sweet review Pete 👍👌😎 I got myself a kings 65L about a year ago which is essentially identical to the bushmans but way cheaper. Its has changed things up a lot and makes it so much easier to access the fridge contents. It uses about double the power than the trusty ol engel chest fridge eclipse 38L but removes the need for the slide so saves a good amount of weight and is heaps better all round. I have done the fan mod on mine because in summer on a 40 degree day it was chewing power like a tesla on fart mode! Honestly mate the fan mod is well worth it because it keeps everything in the fridge at a way more even temp because it circulates the air. I have absolutely no fkn idea why they wouldnt include a fan to start with because it makes that much difference to the overall efficiency and distribution of cool air!! The fridge also doesnt have to cycle as regularly so ultimately you save on power draw too so its a win fkn win chicken for bloody dinner bro! 👌👍😎 I like my temps at 1 to 2 degrees for beers and have mine set in 3 out of 5 (i think) and i reckon yours goes up to 7 so id say you vould drop it back a notch with a fan. The kings also has a digital display and comes with a 5 yr warranty and for $500 im not worried about the warranty really and it has performed flawlessly so far. I also installed rivnuts on the side to mount it securely on top of the drawers with think angle brackets and thats remives the need for an encloaure so the fridge also breathes even better. And again less weight overall. Hope you enjoyed my rant mate 🤣😎😜👍👌 Love youe work Pete keep it up ay 👍👌
@12321bennyg6 күн бұрын
I have the kings 85L upright and it definitely burns through the power compared to my old Dometic 50L. Also for us up here in the Alpine Victoria, my one in the colder months has a real problem. Every time it drops below the temp that the fridge is set at, it doesn't cycle all night. So often I'd wake up in the morning when it's still -4 in the morning and the freezer was melted. So not a big deal for fridge items but many times I woke up and my freezer items were melted. I hope Kings fixes that with their new model coming out.

I went from an old battery draining engel 40 chest fridge to a Dometic nrx 80 and I can confirm the massive pro's of an upright fridge. Less floor space was a major pro for me as well as no need for a fridge slide. So there is 20+ kg less weight behind the Dmax rear axle. I didn't go the Bushman but not for any reason, Just place and time I got what I got. However I could have owned one and loved it just as much. Another plus I found is the fridge becomes more interactive during normal life at home and not camping. Being easier to access and use it has become a true third fridge for use in daily life. This review is bang on solid!

Fantastic episode, Loved Intents when he was working, an awesome storyteller and crafter of content. Interesting way of dealing with kids and the anger that inevitably builds up. I think the anger is more out of frustration on the things they do, which usually is balanced out by the wonderful things they do. At least you recognised the anger and futility of striking out. I have to agree with Alex, the longer pods are a struggle but definitely worth it with the depth you are able to get. 100% true in regards to regrets, you are where you are because of the decisions you have made and the consequences of them, good or bad
