Great review. Just subscribed and bought the 20L kings on special also. 2 year warranty for $200. Great review. Tells the story in real world use..bonus 240v adapter included
Nicely done and your point about Kings having some good stuff is valid IMHO. I have a 75L Kings dual zone in the camper with 600W of solar so AH use of the fridge is of no consequence. Basically the system will run forever without external power - vehicle or plug in mains charger.
Onya Dino, I've found in my van building journey that there is always something I want to change after a trip. Bigger this, smaller that. But geez it's fun. Keep up the good work.
Cheese bruce . Yeah mate it never stops and you will never get your van finished as you constantly looking for improvements to be made its like a disease 😂 thanks for watching mate 👍🍻
Another great video Dino. Wondering if you are able to do any testing of a fridge with the insulation around it with and without (fridge cover). I have the waeco with the insulation and I'm not really sure if it's actually beneficial on those hot days in the van. The fridge is never in the sun but the heat around the cover seems somewhat hot and I'm concerned it traps the heat in.
cheers tony ..Unfortunately not I don’t have a cover for this fridge to try. I’m not a fan of the covers after having my 60 litre kings running full time on freezer with the cover and mould started forming in between the cover and the fridge . never had this issue running on fridge though . thanks for watching 👍🍻
On 4wd 24/7 Simon did some very scientific testing on fridges with & without covers & found that they used more power with a cover & struggled more to maintain temp, this is mainly due to the venting mesh of the covers restricting airflow over the condenser, the covers become more beneficial & fridge efficiency improves if u remove most of the vent area flyscreen mesh sadly.
Good video Dino. Nothing wrong with purchasing kings mate. There is certainly a place in the market for them mate. I’m looking at their 270 awning with poles for the old 80. Just waiting to catch it on sale. There were a few days it was listed for $199 and now it’s gone up again lol Hope all the family are well mate?
Thanks jason. Family and i are all well. Hope all good woth you and the fam also … I seen the kings 270 self supporting awning in store . If the funds can allow mate go for the self supporting 270 awning . Cheapest i seen was $499 … but only if the funds allow mate I totally get it . Thanks for your continued support as always mate 👍🍻
G’day mate . Got the kettle off eBay you can search for ‘collapsible kettle’ to search for more but here is example www.ebay.com.au/itm/255808092777?hash=item3b8f59ba69:g:zMUAAOSwVnZjY1Lq:sc:AU_Regular!4132!AU!-1&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4CwJPOaJtDrD482Nta9R%2Bf6QsIeZJ4oF9%2F%2F2IUmT8U5Cr3WNEzz%2Fki8iQ557QzvL6WNdS14i%2BeC5L1v11iih%2FgSx4WKNBDY9Zxm9caGTj4YR64NQsj1QXkSH5CrncIICLijWcYFIoPm3aU3nW5NX4Pkx6d2PB4DCr5zoRgFNohAx%2BKPREJ5%2FZhQzLToGjA%2FV%2BPRtLBMa3DM%2FEyMW6v465WviPCTYMq9r6DTVOY51VSHJtIXLXBtRUbYtjZDKCqZwVFDRIHnxakqlxT6EBmaUnBu515onvlHQGiIQDAvEcnxR%7Ctkp%3ABFBMgt32uN9h thanks for watching 👍🍻
Considering one for boat use hooked to a 110ah Li, and also for overnighters where I don't need to pack my 60l ARB Elements. This, or the 22l Brass Monkey.
Been really good fridge for the 12 months I have had it. Not sure how the brass monkey compares but the brass monkey has a 3 year warranty I believe. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Sorry guy never used it as a freezer sorry…. I will do a power consumption ob freezer when i do another video on the fridge in around 6 months of age . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Hi, thanks for this. Currently looking for a 12v fridge, so this is helpful to see. I have had my eye on a 40L Engel ($$$$), but am also getting served a "special price" on social media for Kings - the next size up from the one you have here. I bought 2 unbranded "fridges" that turned out to be heater/coolers and not efficient (use about 50 watts consistently and won't get properly cold unless the day is cold, ie no good in 40 degree heat because of the way they work). Kings actually have a note about these on the page where they sell their fridges. Can you please tell me what I'd need to buy to get that same readout as what you have here (the bit showing kilowatt hours and how long it's running)? I don't have a car setup, I'm using portable power stations.
thanks for your comment . I used my Victron battery charger on power supply mode to show the readout which connects via Bluetooth to iPad or phone . thanks for watching 👍🍻
Could you please tell me the exact model of the fridge? It does not look like 20L fridge - the one I found on KING's website has that stupid handles on its sides and looks differently. Is your one an older model maybe? Cheers.
Mine is FR20L_W_01 i bought mine a year ago so could be an older model but its 20 liters cost was $199 this time last year . Been a fantastic fridge. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
To be honest never really used as a freezer so I can’t really answer that one unfortunately. I have to do another video on this fridge as it’s coming up to 12 months old soon and I will do a bit of a test on the freezer . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Hi Dino, how are you? I watched this video few months ago. I just wondering how's the fridge now? is it still running well? I would like to purchase this fridge but I really want to find out if it's a good quality or not? thanks Dino
Hey Nora . Been going good thanks . Fridge going good also ,hasn’t skipped a beat and been running full time since I purchased October 2022 for $199 so it’s almost been a year . Have seen these at times for $189 with no fridge cover (works absolutely fine without it) so if you keep a watch out on the website and Black Friday sales will be coming up shortly also you will nail a bargain . Probably the best bang for buck fridge I have had . Hope this helps . Travel safely ,Take care 👍🍻
I have never tried yet ,but I can’t see why not. Been a great fridge so far and it’s just about 12 months old I will do a follow up video on it soon . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
On a hot day 38-45C they will use 10x more power than on a 25C day stay away from ebay lithium ion batteries the one i bought claimed to be 100amp hour when pulled apart by technician it was only 56 Amp hour. The ACCC is a needs to fine these scammers, remember that the last 15% of the lithium ion battery cannot be used due to the voltage dropping below 12 volts which pretty much renders a battery like that useless for camping and caravaning, unless you are in a 24/7 sunny part of Australia By taking all of this into account its a 40 amp hour battery, not a 100 by any stretch of the imagination

Unless you really need the bigger one don’t get it is my advice, a full smaller one is far more power efficient 👍🍺❤️🇦🇺
awesome tip graham 👍agree 100%
thanks for your comment . I used my Victron battery charger on power supply mode to show the readout which connects via Bluetooth to iPad or phone . thanks for watching 👍🍻
Another solid revue mate! Did those waters go in hot ?
A little over 1ah on average is fantastic.
cheers kato . the test was done from when everything in the fridge was cold . hope all is well mate and thanks for watching 👍🍻
Could you please tell me the exact model of the fridge?

Wonder how the little kings is going with the vents blocked off?
Performing well so far will review Feb 2024 . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
how long does it take to freeze on 12v?
To be honest never really used as a freezer so I can’t really answer that one unfortunately. I have to do another video on this fridge as it’s coming up to 12 months old soon and I will do a bit of a test on the freezer . Thanks for watching 👍🍻

@EFFICIENTSELF thank you so much, Dino. I'll get that fridge soon 🙂
Would this fridge hold icecream @ -18
I have never tried yet ,but I can’t see why not. Been a great fridge so far and it’s just about 12 months old I will do a follow up video on it soon . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
If you could put ice cream in the fridge and dial to -18. And see if it could cope with 40 deg C ambient that would be a great test.
Cheers Jack
