Any chance you could measure outside to outside of the supplied brackets when fitted to the unit?

connection1 answer
Can you put an anderson plug on this instead of hard wiring to battery? prefer not to have it switched on 24/7!
Cody - Werribee, VIC (2 years ago)
G'day Cody,
You can if you like, otherwise hardwire it & install a rocker switch so you don't have to keep plugging and unplugging the fridge. Hope that helps.

Installation1 answer
How is this fridge installed? Does it come with brackets?
Amy - Marcoola, QLD(3 years ago)
G'day Amy,
The fridge itself need to be hardwired in, ideally by an auto electrician if you or a friend/family member don't have the appropriate skills to DIY it. There are 4 'L' brackets that come with the fridge to mount it in place, the only consideration if doing so in an enclosed space, is that there is adequate ventilation for the compressor.

Length of drawer extension1 answer
Hi. How much space is needed in front of the fridge to fully extend the drawer?
Ian - Cherry Gardens, SA(3 years ago)
G'day Ian,
I've just measured this for you on our display model, and the fridge drawers maximum extension is just over 41cm.

Stackable ?1 answer
Can these fridges be stacked on top of each other ?
Dane - Aveley, WA(3 years ago)
G'day Dane,
I've spoken to engle on this one & they're not load rated for stacking and need to be mounted to a solid base. You'd need to have a shelf between them if you want to have one above the other. Hope that helps!

Interior Design1 answer
Does this fridge have dividers/baskets inside the drawer?
Juanet - Broome, WA(3 years ago)
G'day Juanet,
Great question! There arent baskets or dividers in this particular drawer fridge.

Right Mounted1 answer
Can the rear mounted SB30F version get the compressor installed/fitted in the right hand side of the unit or is it fixed?
Jon - Collingwood, VIC(3 years ago)
G'day Jon,
No, Engel have advised it can't. The previous model had flexibility with compressor placement, but this model doesn't and is ultimately fixed at the rear.

Mounting ventilation space 1 answer
If the unit if being installed into a fiberglass set box on a boat, how much space needs to be allowed for ventilation around the top bottom sides and back? Also If the compressor is inside the box, can we just put large vents beside it for ventilation as an alternative?
Chris - Port Douglas, QLD(3 years ago)
G'day Chris,
The SB30F is the new model and the compressor can no longer be mounted separately. The installation instructions advise the fridge to be installed with adequate airflow but do not specify the requirements for the fridge generally. The Compressor requires an intake and outlet vent size of 8 x 20cm as a bare minimum.

Power supply1 answer
Do they have 240vlt power suply capability
Kristy - Murrawee, VIC(3 years ago)
G'day Kirsty,
No, the SB30F doesn't have 240V capability. They're designed to be directly wired into your vehicle, so aren't easily portable or removeable.

Differences1 answer
Are there any differences between the previous model SB30G and this model? I see this one is 2kg heavier.
Andrea - Gladstone, QLD(3 years ago)
G'day Andrea,
A few small differences being that the is no wiring loom supplied, the compressor cannot be mounted separately to the fridge, & there's been some tweaks to the power supply which means the SB30F has a slightly higher power draw. In terms of the additional weight, Engel don't have a clear answer on that, but attribute it to minor design changes with the internal steel frame and compressor housing.
