Am considering getting one of these. Usually we have EHU but sometimes we cant get it so would need to use gas.

I have noticed several posts from people with problems when using them on gas. What are the problems? would you still buy one even though there are problems with gas or would you just buy a leccy one.

Advice and tips welcome. And if you still recommend- whats the cheapest and where?

One other thing, when running on gas you must make sure the fridge is level.

hi,

after much research, especially from other threads, i bought the waeco cab40 which cools to 30 below ambient from here,

they also sell on ebay

this one is ideal for hot countries but ther is another cheaper one from waeco which cools to 20 below ambient which is fine for uk summers!

hope this helps

p.s i notice that the waeco is sold out but the royal 42 looks a good buy

We have the blue combicool, it's plugged in in the garage all the time with a stock of alcohol in it, this also means it's nice and cold when you take it camping. 

We find it runs so cold on gas that we have to turn it right down of a nightime and watch out for items freezing up.

Takes a lot of room up in the car, however we take a seat out of the Picasso and replace it with the fridge.

Has been tricky getting it lit on the gas but once you have the knack, we keep a mirror handy to use to make sure the pilot light is still lit, easier than crawling around on your hands and knees.
