Thanks, I'll check it.
Not sure there's a Waeco importer here. If not, service is unavailable.

The Thermoelectric coolers are attractive, as there's no motor, no compressor, no moving parts. Unfortunately, they're only good for colder weather than we have here. When we go south to the desert, and the (closed hardtop) Jeep is parked in the sun, inside temp' reaches 60 Celsius (140 F) or more. Only a compressor-based fridge can cope with that.

BTW, when buying a fridge for offroading, make sure that it's made to work in a tilted position -- not all fridges are made for this.

 

Yep, I'm with you. I lived in Israel and Africa for many years and spent most of the weekends in the desert. I'm UK based now with a family so most of my trips are European ones, though the south of Spain will get to the kind of temps you're talking about. TBH, the trips I do nowadays are not full expeditions so I can get away with not always running the absolute top of the line kit. Here's the "expedition" trailer I just built over the last couple of weeks. It's done one trip with me and has functioned exactly to my needs, though. I keep the fridge strapped to the roof-rack on top of the trailer and just run a lead into the JK to a heavy duty inverter I have mounted under the passenger seat. BTW, I think the Dometic line of fridges is made by Waeco.

BTW, just noticed you're in Israel. Where abouts are you. I was in Tel Aviv (Bogatov St) and a group of us Jeep enthusiasts used to meet in the desert every Friday afternoon. We'd sometimes stay over 'til Saturday. I was running a CJ5 back then!

 

Got my Rotpax 2 gal. installed and my JCR rear bumper. Front is arriving on Tuesday, then I can mount it and my winch..........

 

Looks good. Coming along nicely.

 

Waeco belongs to the Dometic Group and ARB chose Dometic Group to manufacture their fridges. So maybe ARB fridges are designed by ARB and manufactured by WAECO.

 

That looks really good! I like it!

 

Thanks

 

So does anyone know of some places in PA to do like a weekend overland/camping trip? Even if it's more camping than off-roading. Just curious as to what you guys have found as I've had no luck.

 

Bald eagle state park. Look into state forests in maryland/virginia too. Also look into Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival in August. Should be a good time.

 

I got my Neon on it's new suspension, from 23" slipper to 29" eye to eye, SOA, shocks, 15" wheels and 29" TRXs. Extended the tongue jack and corner jackstands. Somehow I haven't run out of cutoff wheels nor welding wire.



Found some time (30 mins) to install hood prop kit. Fear of having wind slam the hood on the windshield and denting it like what happened on my old TJ, gone.
