Another compressor fridge convert - after years of putting up with an expensive (and not very efficient) coolbox - with gone off food & warm beer
Changed to the compressor fridge after having our little un to keep milk cool (taking up valuable beer space )
Use it as a top up fridge now on the drive all year round
One of the best investments we've made on our van - running off a fixed 150w solar panel

Re: 3 way or Compressor
This is my 3-way and why I won't have a dedicated fridge. Portable has so many advantages....

not with barbecue point fittings , you can use the same thing to run your interior gas system on bottle if you have a fixed tank system inside like I do which uses autogas to fill and lasts for 6 months plus , if I run out I have a regulator for bottle and can plug that into the interior system to run that (cooker and propex) and can use the portable three way fridge stand alone in a tent situation where the vehicle is being used say off road during the day from a fixed camp I also have an oven and a single burner stove that can be added in if needed or run stand alone all using the same fittings

Re: 3 way or Compressor
I've been using my compressor fridge in the van to keep the beers cool this last week as the house fridge is full of green food. :-0
Ok, so it's been v.sunny but the van is in the shade for an hour or two either side of mid-day. solar is keeping the leisure battery topped up nicely. And it's free.

I got it from a 4x4 overlander supply guy on e-bay in the uk. He only had a couple though. And although it was brand new the 240v adapter didn't work, i had to fix it myself cos he said he'd send another but never did.
