What Model and size is yours? It looks like the Celebration model going by the brochure.
I received the brochure, price list and DVD from Norcoast today.
Together with a personal letter from Margaret who added a hand written note: "Please pass on my best weishes to Bob".
Unfortunately the DVD cover was empty! No DVD disc - have emailed Margaret advising.

I have the RC special, that has heavy duty lid, volt meter, thermometer, LED's 240v convertor, the thermostate overide switch (for freezing and bypassing the main thermo), spring loaded handles, in the plain aluminium finish. It is a 60litre one. I also had the lid made the whole length of the fridge as it makes it easier to load in my circumstances.

That is nice of her.. She will continue to get my best wishes and support as she is just one of natures gentlewomen...

Cost more but virtually bomb proof...

http://www.norcoast.com.au/

Been using them for years and years.. Even had a service call tot he factory one Good Friday (located at Caloundra)

They are bigger than most, but for my money, the best I could afford..

I have always relied on the failsafe esky, but have recently been lured by the call of a camp freezer, (to top up the esky & keep frozen goods).
Trouble is that most are twice the size of a comparable size Esky.
They definately look the goods for what I want Rastas, nice & square to pack & bullet proof!!! Smiley

But size (& packability) will determine the outcome? (have always had a soft spot for Engels, being a 4wder at heart!!)
A 60L freezer would be a good back up to a 60L Esky for drinks & thawed stuff !!!

Thx, Mick.

Whne we are on the road for a long time we use an esky for the day box. I freeze down ice bricks in the Trailblazer, and use them each day in the esky... When the freezer needs drop down to half, I can set the thermo to make the bottom freeze...

When on the fishing trip, it seems like my freezer gets the task to be the freezer and chills down fish real quick!!

There is no doubt that the Trailblaza is a larger package then the Engel. But that is what you pay for in the way of insulation and less battery use.

It willl always be a trade off... I still borrow a mates Engel for the small day trips when space is an absolute premium...

Been looking at Waeco, Engel and Trailblaza and getting confused.
Trailblaza does seem the Rolls Royce job................except I cant get their DVD to open........... Sad

Still evaluating..............
