Yup, in about an hour.

Why not run it off gas, if you don`t have EHU?

Why not carry the gas bottle in the combicool if you are that worried about space. A gas bottle is minute when compared to the size if the 3 way fridge !

thankyou Tony,

i guess its really more to do with the fact that it will be too much to organise for the weekend. i could have got the fridge but then the gas bottle and perhaps the pipes....have not got time so i think i will leave it for now and consider it at a later date....thnaks for the replies though! Will have to make do with luke warm beer!!!
