we bought the Mobicool fridge last year, the only problem we have had is we can seem to get the gas lit, now i have lost the instuction booklet. Im sure its something very simple that im missing so if anyone can walk me through it or send me a link for the instuction page that would be fantastic, as we intend to take it camping in the next few days and oviously its not paying its way if we cant use the gas, hope to hear from someone asap.. all have a safe and wonderfull time over these holidays..thanks

I’ve been using the Mobicool cooler for two years now and wouldn’t give it up. I’m out of touch 5 to 8 days at a time without an ice supply while camping on a small boat. I vacuum pack meats and some other items that can perish easily and have no problems. The cooler works best on propane, then 110, then 12v. When traveling in a car I use an inverter so I can plug the cooler in on 110. Like any cooler it works best if you keep the sun off it. Watch out for lettuce. With the high moisture content it’ll freeze the lettuce.
Yes, the initial propane lighting needs patience. You must wait for the gas to reach the lighter. I usually use a barbeque lighter and light through the back as suggested in the instructions. Once it’s lit it’s fine and can be re-lit easily. Also, don’t jam it full of non-essentials that really don’t need to refrigerated. We use another cooler as our “pantry” for those items. Well…except for maybe the odd bottle of white wine.
If the cooler has a chance to warm up to outside ambient temp it’ll take 24 hours to cool back down. As they say in the instructions it’s best to have it on for 24 hours (or longer) before you leave. Then keep it on.

Your site is really cool to me and your subject matter is very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of blog managers are guilty of these 5 mistakes”. http://tinyurl.com/bn4kol9 You will be suprised how easy they are to fix.

We bought the same cooler from Canadian tire. It worked well for one day and then there was heat through the vent but no cooling. We tried to return it at a Canadian Tire. They have a no return policy on coolers and would only send if for repair. By the time we would get it back, camping season would be over and by next year the warrantly would be done. After a lengthy discussion the manager did offer us store credit. We reminded the store that there is no warning about the return policy at the store and only found out by checking the web site.

we purchased this Mobicool 3 way cooler @ Can.Tire and could not get it to work properly and had to return it for an exchange. Next one worked really well on propane for 4 days, then it did not work on vehicle nor on elelctric at next campsite. Tried again on propane since it worked well prior and could not get that working either. It would put out heat through vent as working but did not get cold! Tried all troubleshooting methods from manual but no luck. Ended up returning unit for refund and am looking at altrnate makes/models since we do lots of rough camping and really could use a propane model.

If this unit could cool 35 degrees C below ambient then I would buy it. A normal fridge is 4 degrees C . Imagine a hot 38 degree day ……….
.hummm 38-20= 18 C that sounds like food poising to me! no thanks!!

Yeah, I know it is expensive, but we are avid campers! We have been thinking about purchasing an electric cooler for some time. And when we saw this one at Canadian Tire, it was like “AHHHHHHHHHH!” With a golden light shinning down from above! LOL. It was well worth it keep our food safe, especially with a toddler. We don’t need his food spoiling.
