Example of shoddy work


190 lt compressor fridge not working properly, looked up top vent and wool insulation was laying across condenser fan. Insulation had expanded and collected a bit of red dust and became heavy, check your vents.

Cheers Bob

Not good enough, putting very politely. Did you let the manufacturer know in no uncertain terms that you are not impressed.

& you need onboard air for cleaning!

Is the silver coloured refrigerant pipe in the foreground going into the fridge, if it is it could have some pipe insulation to keep it colder. Efficiency anywhere you can improve it.

Hi Whenwearethere,

Yes very poor and used a compressor at home, don't have that luxury on the road......i'm impressed. And the pipe is coming out of the fridge warm.

 

Hi Bass,

That's amazing, yes must be the same bloke or his brother.

Cheers Bob

as dangerous as that is, its bloody ingenious as a botch job if it gets you home.

Where an English couple had nearly
Passed by running out of fuel. They had bad dehydration . Yet the fridge was full of water . They said they couldnt boil the jug to make a cup of tea !!! Sheesh
