75 litre twin door
Best thing i ever bought love the flexibility of the 2 bins with individual doors
2 fridges
2 freezers
1 fridge and 1 freezer
Can even just turn one bin on for when i go to the fish markets

The ultimate decision is bigger fridge means more in the fridge and less having to be stored in the vehicle or the reverse for smaller fridge

Hi chester, what brand/make is your 75 litre? I like the separate doors as well, reason why I like the Waeco CFX 95 so much.
Thanks

I have a 47 litre ARB fridge and a quite small (18 litre) Waeco fridge in the camper.

Just remember folks - there are shops out there!

Jason - you'll be happy with the CFX65...   

Terry - that's what we figured too.   The majority of times we're not away from civilisation for more than 3 days so we get by with a CFX50.   Deciding between this and the CFX65 took us ages to decide and we drove the guy at Tentworld crazy as this is a real dilemma.    Same footprint as the 50 but higher for the 65.   If we spent more time off the grid then the 65 would of won.

We had the guy get the 2ltr milk from the staff room so we could see how it fits.    I'm still pretty sceptical that our 50ltr would fit 25 x 2ltr milks !!  :)

It will hold the milk, just not the bottles!  ;D

For two people we have managed to go a full two weeks in a CF-40 fridge.   It was a bit tricky at the beginning,  we ate like kings for the first few days to make more room for drinkies.  Afterwards we thought we wouldnt mind just a little more,  so got CFX50.  Havent pushed it to its limits since we got it though.

UHT milk poppers are a good option to save fridge space. 

Always go with beer cans,  so much better inside the fridge and then of course great to take home afterwards due to them collapsing down.  Seems like everyday there are more brands doing beer cans.  So you're not really sacrificing too much on choice by going can. 

Pour it into a unbreakable glass and it's just like the beer you get in pubs that dont allow glass...!   :cheers: :cheers:
