Fridge Covers

Post by Stef »

Anybody knows where I can get one for a 95L Campmaster; Makro priced their thin camo print covers at R750 :wth:

...or where I can get canvas type material @ reasonable price?

Kan gereel word...maar ek het 20 jaar terug laas 'n naaldwerk ervaring gehad ( stovepiped jeans :mocking: ) Sal maar 'n pro kry vir die na...ek bedoel stikwerk :twisted:

Soek eintlik iets in die selfde lyn as canvas seat covers...maar tent canvas sal ook werk.

Ek moet seg dat vandag ek my nuwe Cover gebruik is my battery usage laer, en dit hou hom baie koeler. Vir my is dit regtig die moeite werd gewees.
Jou yskas krap dan glad nie, en dit lyk vir altyd soos 'n nuwe een !

Neil, the mrs sure did a nice job on that cover :thumbup: is that the PVC canvas or ripstop?

@ Other Neil; agree, too expensive; the Makro ones only have a lining, no insulation. In my mind R300 is more reasonable if it has no insulation.

I have 1 or 2 other custom ideas as well (mainly for show :mrgreen: ); if it is possible it will be really unique.
What do you okes reckon to be the best insulation to use?

What about that foam you get that they make the roll up matress from and then wrap an emergency(space) blanket around it.
I think that should give good insulation and protection.

Went to my friendly neighbourhood tent repair guy to have my canvas canopy repaired; he can do fridge covers for R800 each; then it has a normal foam layer in between.

Wonder if that hollow fibre stuff will work for insulation?
