Engel Fridge on eBay

I have been trying to find a cheap Engel fridge for about a year now. I ended up buying one at Billing, but it would seem there is one on eBay if you are looking for one

ENGEL MT35F TRI-VOLTAGE PORTABLE CAMPING FRIDGE on eBay, Other Camping, Camping, Sporting Goods (item 130142927336 end time 22-Aug-07 18:32:53 BST)

Check out the spec, as I haven't, but it might be what you are looking for ....

ENGEL MT35F - £395 inc VAT + postage... I found them via Google as I'm after one as well but the 21 litres as the 35 is too big for us.

At billing ........

Hi there, at billing we paid £500 for the fridge and cover. But this was the 40l (MT45). The one on eBay is the 32l. Rather confusing as it is called a '35'. The difference in price between the 40l and 32l was only 20 or 30 quid as far as I remember. The main difference is (apart from the obvious 8 litres!) is you can't stand a 2l bottle up. Can't remember what happens with a bottle of wine.

We got it from MPS who were £50 cheaper than deveon 4x4 the only others we saw selling at billing. I would highly recommend MPS as they spent considerable time explaining the pro's and con's of each different fridge and accessorary.

You wouldn't have a link to MPS would you as Google comes up with a billion answers, all of which don't look promising!

Oh and maybe I should add ....

The price we paid was there 'Billing' price. But I reckon you may be able to strike a deal if you ask nicely enough ....

The Landrover formally known as Biggles

You are correct!

Still going strong, with a few cosmetic and not so cosmetic changes ....

Hopefully going to do at least another 30k miles to Australia, touch wood.

Thumbs up ollie's engel

Hello Ollie,
Nick from Gosport here,
You will not be dissapointed with your fridge, (and mps)
Mines been brill for a couple of years now, and having just got back from +59 degrees C, it still got down to -4 C.
Take some advice, don't do Croatia when the forest starts to burn.
Hope the planning is coming on nicely?
Best wishes,
Nick.

Hello Nick!

Hi there Nick

Plannings going well, as with saving. Still 18 months before the big trip, but now getting lots of smaller trips under our belt. off to Snowdon this weekend.

What about you? Croatia sounds a bit crazy hot for my liking. I think I'd be sat in the fridge in those temps

Got any other plans?

Good to here from you.

Cheers
