[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 617220, member: 1414"] RR, Know doubt you already know with your detailed research/experiments but I was amazed the difference covers make. My "old yellow" Engel still purring along, but maybe not as quite. Had a woolen blanket lined canvas cover made up for it when first purchased back in '83. Rides in the back of the ute which has canvas cover. When prospecting I usually roll up the flaps for easy access to detectors etc. One day I left a car seat cushion on the lid and when I returned a few hours later I checked both fridges temperature and was surprised to see old yellas freeze temperature had gone down to -13C usually hovering around -06C. Removed the cushion and a few hours later the temp had crept back up. After arriving back home, dragged out the sewing machine and lined the lid flap of the cover with a sheep skin. With the control knob set so the fridge cycles it constantly runs at between -06C & -10C. :Y: :perfect: [/QUOTE]
