    The outwell one is a standard generic cool box which is sold by many companies. It just has a very poor cooling/heating feature put in to the lid compartment. I would advise putting a couple of frozen ice blocks at the bottom cause they have serious problems cooling anything near the bottom due to the cooling coimg direct from the lid. The Dometic cools all the way round. If you want a 3 way fridge buy the dometic, if you want a portable coolbox get a £25 one from your local shop and put ice packs in it.

  • @1ManAndHisVan
    @1ManAndHisVanАй бұрын

    Hi there and thanks for watching, I’m glad you found it useful. I believe the roof rack would need removing as the awning brackets use the mounting points and sit in the channel. Hope that helps but if not do let me know and I’m sure we can crack it together.

    Nice job! Thank you for the demo. Maybe you could have used a flat screwdriver in order to push the locking bolt up until it was fixed in place and tighten it then? I would advice to use a bit of grease on all threads to make it easier to remove the Fiamma in Winter. Question: Does anybody here know if this fiamma F45S would fit on a VW Caddy Van XL? Thank you for the answer.

  • @1ManAndHisVan
    @1ManAndHisVan2 ай бұрын

    Hi there, thanks for watching and your kind words. Yes I agree, a flat head would’ve done the trick BUT I still think it’s a bit of a design flaw that Fiamma could work on. About the caddy XL, I wouldn’t know I’m afraid but I think it would be too big and it’s quite heavy too.
