Out with the old, in with the new!
Bendigo Leisurefest saw us climbing in and out of several vans checking refrigerator models and sizes until we found the latest Thetford T1274, a 274L compressor fridge-freezer that was 12V / 240V and fitted our space nicely. Our van was due for some hail damage repairs and we arranged for the fridge to be replaced at the same time. The old unit came out through the bedroom window and the new one went in the same way. It fit like a glove.
We have used Thetford fridges in a variety of different vans while travelling, so we know they are good. This new one has a different fascia. A quick look at the instruction booklet, yes, you read that right, and we had it all set-up, working properly and are extremely happy with it. There is no external temperature display but a simple blue light indicates that the fridge is working. Any adjustments to both zones, fridge and / or freezer, can be changed using the + or – buttons on the fascia panel. A range of 1-5 on both scales is all that is required with 1 being minimum and 5 the maximum.
