Engel + TwoZone review

Hi everyone - just posted up a quick review of my Engel/TwoZone setup. I have done some custom modifications to make it all work better and will post this up soon in another post on my blog.

Engel Portable Fridge-Freezer and TwoZone Compartment Review

My blog is only recent but I hope to keep it well updated with trip reports and reviews of gear that I use out in the bush.

I can't imagine not having ours.

Heya Wendy - the TwoZone is good but I wasn't overly happy with its performance when I first got it. I am going to post this up in another blog entry in more detail but basically what I have done is mounted a 80mm 12v fan in 1 corner of the twozone basket and around it have a metal shroud consisting of a metal plate bent like an L that goes around it and stops at the top of the basket just before where the lid shuts.

What this allows is cold air from the Engel to be actively circulated up and over the contents in the TwoZone. The difference in how well it works is night and day. It went from my drinks in the TwoZone being marginally cool on a hot 40 degree celcius summer day here, to them being absolutely icey cold! An incredible difference in how well it works
