I recommend Bushman SC35/52. It's an Australian company with great support. There's even a phone number to ring and someone actually answers it! It uses the least amperage in it's class due to 50mm insulation, I think it draws around 3.0 amps. You get a cover included too.
Bought one of these the other day, prior to watching this video. I was thinking about buying the cover, but after watching this review, I don't think I will bother. Another good video, keep up the good work. Cheers
Good to have you back buddy I’ve just purchased a dometic fridge and freezer haven’t used it yet still decking out the back I fitted a canopy to the dmax with plenty of room and the aim is to use every bit of the tub and canopy I’ll let you know how I go good videos champ 💪🏼🇦🇺👍🏽👌🏼☝🏼
Thanks for the excellent review Adam 🙂 I've just recently pre-ordered the Evakool down under 80L (series 2) it's the Australian made version, and they have the option to now turn of one compartment to save energy. It also has the Bi-Directional/Removeable Lids as well 👍 Won't be available until mid July, but the wait will be worth it lol.
Good review mate. I have found evakool back up support average with limited service providers wanting to deal with them, which is a shame when you support Australian made....owned. I have been largely happy with my fridge although had a lid seal issue, and various codes over various times which I was told to drop off at a service provider without much interest offered.
Loving the videos mate very grateful for your in depth explanations much appreciated. Going to start doing up my xt asap. By the way are you thinking of putting roof racks on ?
Oh nice, have been looking at those also. Keen to see if the 2x pain points I have with this one (can't turn one side off and horrific/useless app) have been addressed
Hi I've had one for a 2 years an it's been good but the Eva kool sign on top with in 6 months of using the freezer the sign rusted an the rivets come out on one side too. The fridge side eventually started rusting over time too.
Still working well, disappointed that the branding plates on the middle of the lids have rusted out, have removed them. Fridge still working well though.
I have a dometic 75 lt and will not fit under the roller blind. I have remove the plastic liner and had a rhino spray and was hoping that that would get me in but no cigar. It must be less then 450 ior les in height….😡
What was the ambient temperature when you was testing the power consumption? I live up north of WA where we normally get 40-45 degrees days wonder if it would handle it ok
You are able to turn off each compartment. I received today my kickass outback 95 L dual zone and I have problem with Wi-Fi and I find that function Press on same time set and up or down for a few second and you are able to turn off
Hi love your videos I have the same cobalt blue D-Max same problem with fridges and I think the Engel 60itre fridge would fit in but how would you tie it down ?can't wait to see more videos thanks Ray
@@VideoShowMeHow thank you. Looking to upgrade the engel and I know I can with them as it automatically transfers over to 240 from 12v without having to unplug the 12v.
@@haydensusigan2513 you only have about 455mm with the tub liner in :( If you went a spray in liner you'd make that up and be ok. Have also see others cut a section out for the fridge
@@dylanbecroft5584 no has been great so far cooling wise (am based in QLD), I've found it performs well as is a well insulated fridge and not bad on the juice either.

Sounds like a winner. Great news about turning one side off 👌
Nice fridge. I got a 70L from kings a couple of years ago and it is low profile too. Love the polypropylene (mine's steel).
Kings one holding up so far?
@@VideoShowMeHow well covid has assured that!
Looks like the kickass and the new kings model

Researching options for this now :)
@@VideoShowMeHow sounds good, cheers mate 👍
Have had nothing but problems with my Evakool Travelmate. If I was to buy again I'd get an Engel.
Oh really? What issues have you had?
@@VideoShowMeHow Overheating. Their warranty support was also terrible.
@@BallBagsification Ah bummer. Hopefully will get sorted
Hi I bought this fridge but have lost the instruction book to set up the wifi. I believe the code is on it.
Looking at the Down Under Ozzie version from Evakool tomorrow.
Oh nice, have been looking at those also. Keen to see if the 2x pain points I have with this one (can't turn one side off and horrific/useless app) have been addressed
I have been watching your build. I have A LSU Extra Cab and love it. How do you tie down your fridge and battery setup? Cheers
Have converted a few tub bolts to m8 eye bolts then use standard straps. Likely removing liner soon and coating the tub (with a vid of course!)

Hey mate how are you securing the fridge? Great videos btw keep it up!
Currently strap on each handle to corner 👍 Will have some time downs in the tub shortly ;)
Hey Adam, wondering how the fridge is going a year on? TIA
Still working well, disappointed that the branding plates on the middle of the lids have rusted out, have removed them. Fridge still working well though.
Reckon a fridge slide would fit if mounted between the tubliner ridges?
Yeah you'd be right with this height fridge 👍
I have a dometic 75 lt and will not fit under the roller blind. I have remove the plastic liner and had a rhino spray and was hoping that that would get me in but no cigar. It must be less then 450 ior les in height….😡
Feel your pain, I had to sell my Waeco when I got my dmax as wouldn't fit :(
Wow
In the US, this is under a different name called BLIZZARD BOX.
What was the ambient temperature when you was testing the power consumption? I live up north of WA where we normally get 40-45 degrees days wonder if it would handle it ok
Whoa that's warm. I've had it 30 odd degrees on the beach and in full sun has been fine so far
You are able to turn off each compartment.
I received today my kickass outback 95 L dual zone and I have problem with Wi-Fi and I find that function
Press on same time set and up or down for a few second and you are able to turn off
No you can't :(
Where did you get your rear tailgate protection
Thanks in advance
Link in description :)
One question did you pay for this fridge or was it supplied to you for review?
Paid full price myself mate
Hi love your videos I have the same cobalt blue D-Max same problem with fridges and I think the Engel 60itre fridge would fit in but how would you tie it down ?can't wait to see more videos thanks Ray
I've replaced some of the bolts on the inner tub with m8 eye bolts. Only gives you I've in each corner but does the job
Hey mate do you get much dust in your tub if so do you think the tailgate dust seal rubber worth getting
Hey, on some dusty trails, yep dust gets in. Am looking into some sort of a seal kit now
Will wait and see what you get so I can follow you instructions. Thanks
Do you think it is worth getting a catch can if so are you going to get one
@@beccummins7930 certainly have, install vid release next vid or two 👍👍
So Adam how is the fridge going now.
Looking to purchase one but is a rebranded as a Giant.
Hey mate, still going strong 👍
Hey Adam can you leave it plugged into 12v and plug it into 240v when your parked up at home?
At the same time? Unsure if can at the same time, will give it a test next time I've got it plugged in and report back
@@VideoShowMeHow thank you. Looking to upgrade the engel and I know I can with them as it automatically transfers over to 240 from 12v without having to unplug the 12v.
Slide plans? :)
Is there enough room to mount it on a fridge side
yep, have around 20mm of wiggle room - saw some pics on the one of the facebook groups where someone had put this on a slide
@@VideoShowMeHow currently looking at a kick-ass fridge 80l and the height is 465mm, do you think it would squeeze on in the tub?
Cheers!
@@haydensusigan2513 you only have about 455mm with the tub liner in :( If you went a spray in liner you'd make that up and be ok. Have also see others cut a section out for the fridge
What’s with the gloves mate? You gonna catch cooties from the fridge or something?
Just something we do round here on the channel ;)
planning to get a roof rack?
hey mate, yeah exploring some options now actually :)
@@VideoShowMeHow can't wait to see it, I've got most of the mods from your videos :)
how is the fridge holding up so far?
So far so good!
@@VideoShowMeHow have you had any issue with the ambient temp being too hot for the fridge like 40 degree days in the ute?
Hey m8 just wanna find out how your Evakool travelmate 80l is going??
Hey mate, still going strong, just got back from a trip yesterday actually, used it on that trip 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow nice m8 have you had any problems with it at all? What is it like in hot weather???
@@dylanbecroft5584 no has been great so far cooling wise (am based in QLD), I've found it performs well as is a well insulated fridge and not bad on the juice either.
@@VideoShowMeHow nice I’m just looking at buy a bigger fridge but I’m just worried about the hot weather up in WA that’s all.
@@dylanbecroft5584 main cons I've found is can't switch off a side to just run one and the WIFI 'app' is completely useless... Otherwise the decent fridge!
Android???? what is that lol. have you tried the app for apple? Ive had another brand dual zone that had no option to shut down on side.
Clearly the superior os 😂
@@VideoShowMeHow 🤣
What did it cost you mate
was about 1200, link in description is what I used
