A recent conversation between myself (Me) and my girlfriend (GF) working on our to do list for kitting out the 4WD...
Me: We'll need a small fridge for the journey for food, couple of

s, etc
GF: Oh, OK - how much are they?
Me: Well, we can get a cheap compressor Fridge like the Waeco CDF-25 for around £300
GF: And thats it - up and running, no more to pay?
Me: we'd need a 2nd battery - about another £100, more for a Yellow Top!
GF: anything else?
Me: Well, a split charge system about another £100
GF: right... this starting to add...
Me: ... and a solar panel / generator for when we stop for a few days - about another £200 (60W from Maplin)
GF: so we're talking about £300 for a relatively small fridge, plus £400 to keep it running - £700 all up!
Me: Hmmm, yes.
We're doing this on a really tight budget and whilst it would be nice to have the best of everything, we're really noticing that the full price of a fridge is more like £700.
Any ideas? - I'd hate to loose the fridge that we havent bought yet.
