[@ggbogo935]

straight to the point and very concise. thanks for all the info with out all the bs you get from the bigger channels

[@wooblebloc]

Cheers for the info sesh. I was thinking about the upright fridge. I have a 74lt fridge but I wonder if I could fit more in my 74ltr fridge then the 80ltr upright.

[@Farmer2492]

Hi great video. just a question when your canopy door is open how high is the opening , also how high is the bushman fridge thank you

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Sorry mate for the delay just catching up on messages now. I’ll have to measure and come back to you

[@Farmer2492]

I have 2 Engel s x 40 litres 1 on freeze and 1 on fridge, Had for 12 years and they don t miss a beat love em.

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Thanks for your comment Clayton. Engel are great and set the standard for all others to chase. Great to hear about your setup that’s served you so well for such a long period, that’s awesome. I hope I get reliable, trouble free use from my set up. Fingers crossed 🤞. Cheers 🍻 Jeff

Ive decided to run with two fridges myself. The up right bush ranger & an arb chest fridge freezer.

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Yer I think two fridges is a must if you plan to get off grid for an extended period. If I had my time again I’d get the 40l Everkool draw fridge as the 2nd to run as either fridge or freezer. Half the price, half the weight and takes less room and can stack on top for more storage. Thanks for watching mare 👍 cheers 🍻 Jeff

[@nathankelly1708]

Thanks for the honest set of thoughts Jeff and really appreciate your style of communication.

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Thanks Nathan, appreciate your feedback. Cheers 🍻

[@markjones8704]

Nice one mate, great information. Been running an Engel and have been thinking about getting an upright fridge so this was awesome info. Looking forward to your future topic as they sound fantastic too. Cheers

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Thanks for your feedback Mark, really appreciate it. 👍

[@R00RAL]

Kudos to my uncëe, installing a kelvinator bar fridge in his canopy in the 80's.

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

🤣🤣🤣 a head of his time for sure 👍👍

[@CoRzZ_]

Really enjoying your videos mate! Keep up the great content! Definitely subscribing can't wait for a proper full on rig walk through!

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Cheers 🍻 CS, appreciate the feedback and the sub 👍.

Yes I have also a Bushman upright 85 litre mmm had a few fridges in the past however I must say I would love a upright fride that had two seperate electroninc themostates, one for the freezer and one for the fridge. So you could control the fridge to a more acuarate temperature. All these fridges rely on how you have set the dial gauge and if the ambianet temp is low then you have to turn the dial back towards zero or a lower number and visa versa if the ambient is high, I am always changing that dial to compensate for the amient rising and lowering. And as we know the temp inside a canapy can vary a lot and there normaly is little to no air flow. If someone has heard of a fridhe wiht hese features then please tell.

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

I agree Terry, that’s definitely one negative but I generally leave it on the one setting thus far. I’m not aware of an upright with dual thermostats. Thanks for watching 👍 cheers 🍻 Jeff

[@adamrapson6437]

Good work mate. Thanks

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Cheers Adam 🍻👍

[@BOK_Q400]

Great review mate, how is the upright fridge door secured when closed?? I see the chest fridge has latches, does the Bushman have those?

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Hi mate, fridge has a latch built into the handle for one handed access and closure. Works a great no issues coming open on the tracks. Cheers and thanks for watching 🍻

[@newport5504]

Hey mate what setting do you run on the fridge just got mine, you definitely helped me buy one thanks mate

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Awesome. I run mine around between 4-5 on the dial. Higher the number the colder.

[@Ozfreerider_adventures]

Everyone time someone praises an upright fridge they open it up and don’t have anything more than a few items packed in it . Put enough shit in there for 3 or 4 days camping then show us . They are all well and good to out a few drinks in but a waste of time for putting a slab of beers in and 3 days food . Shit falls out everywhere . They are good in theory not in practice

[@jarrodbourne5019]

I get that the whole idea of a canopy is the free up the car, but why not just run the chest fridge in the back seat of car, if it's say only a 35-50 litre and using as the beer fridge. No need for a fridge slide this way, and easy to access

[@nathanseven7]

Great comparison but very poor sound quality on video

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Thanks for watching and your feedback Nathan 👍 cheers Jeff🍻

[@4x4touring47]

Great vid mate 👍 been looking at the benefits of an upright just in the last week so this is really useful and you covered a lot of bases 👌 i have a prado with a set of drawers and fridge sitting in top which is ok but access is an issue and the extra weight is also a big issue. I could save 20kg easy and life would be so much easier with an upright. I measured it up and a bushman would fit snugly in the back in top of the drawers . . . . . 😜😭 😡 Can i justify the outlay . . . Hmmmmm . . . . Food for thought for sure. How does the bushman go stocked up with tins or bottles if beer? I guess you keep the chest fridge for good beer storage or you would've swapped it out for a 2nd bushman hey? Keep up the really well done vids mate - much appreciated 👌👍😎

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Thanks for your kind words and support Ben. I’ve had no issues with cans or bottles in the upright. Zero spillages or breakages 👍

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

I’ve also seen a few vids with uprights in the back of wagons. Seems to be the popular choice now for the reasons you mentioned

[@adventuretime1573]

Pretty sure it's 10o'clock somewhere Hahah

[@jeffntashadventures3438]

Absolutely 😂😂
