Refrigerator barely worked on 240v.
12v and gas options don't seem to work at all. Owners seem responsive in trying to rectify the problem but it is difficult to get it looked at by a repair shop when you are travelling and have a tight itinerary. I think the problem is that the van is just too old. 450,000km on the odometer and a real dog on uphills. Probably just need to retire this vehicle.
Hi Brad,
we are very sorry we couldn't get the fridge working on gas for you although we did try.
We hope you had a great time Travelling NZ while you were with us and pleased you enjoyed Banks Peninsula so much.
