EvaKool DU265−DZ Down Under Series II Dual Zone Fridge Freezer 65L

G'day Jon,

We're the retailer, not the manufacturer, so dont have access to this specific material information.
I'd suggest getting intouch with EvaKool directly, you can find their contact details here.

G'day Christopher,

Their Down Under protective covers have been discontinued by Evakool in all sizes, which suggests they're releasing a new cover design at some point soon.  The 65L size is their most popular size model, hence why the older cover has been sold out and is unavailable.

G'day Lyn,

You don't have to remove the diver to run the whole unit as a fridge - you can set both compartments to whatever temperature you like, but you can remove the divider if you want to for more efficient operation.
You can remove it and turn one of the zones off, just running one singular refrigeration element, so you're saving power. With the divider removed, this is efficient for fridge temps.
Hope that helps.

G'day John,

No, its not a replacement.  The Travelmate was its own stand alone range which Evakool have discontinued.
The Down Under fridge series is a relatively new range of Aussie made fridges, but they're not a 'new' or upgraded Travelmate if that makes sense.

G'day Kyle,

I have just called Evakool to see what's happening here, they are aware of this problem that the app won't show up on every phone. They have let me know they have their team working on fixing this problem ASAP and aren't sure why it isn't showing up for everyone. Keep checking as in the next few weeks they should have this updated.

Always worth checking if your phone is updated to the latest version available.

G'day Phillip,

I don't believe it does actually as we can't see a trigger for the light being turned on and off.  Most camp fridges run the internal light all the time. They're a tiny led which draws absolutely negligible power, so whether or not it turn on/off wouldn't have any bearing on your power consumption.
Hope that helps.

G'day Desmond,

Yep, it sure does.  The lids can be removed from flat across the whole Down Under Range.
Hope that helps!

G'day Conor,

Evakool suggests storing your fridge out of direct weather for a longer lasting fridge.  Ultimately I'd interpret this to mean that whilst you can have it in the back of your ute, it's over lifespan may be reduced because it's less protected.
Having a fridge mounted in the back of a ute isn't entirely uncommon, and it depends if you're just planning to chuck it there for trips, or if you want it there full-time.
If it's just temporary for trips, you should be fine - just be mindful of dust if you're going off bitumen.

If fulltime, there's a few things to consider though:
- Get a protective cover where possible
- Having the fridge exposed & potentially in full sun will increase power consumption
- Make sure your ute tray drains really well, and in rain the fridge won't be sitting in water at all.
- Position the fridge so the control panel and cable inputs are as protected as possible.
- Consider using a tonneau cover

Hope that helps.

G'day Ivan,

We dont have one of these out of the box, but the whole series has the same handles.
I've measured the handle depth for you on our smaller display model.  Its 38mm per handle.
If we subtract 2 x 3.8cm from the total length, that leaves us with a body length of 71.1cm.
Hope that helps.
