|
|
I have searched high and low on this site and others, and I need your help.
Does anyone still have their 12-volt refrigerator that bolts to floor behind the passenger seat?
I got rid of mine before measuring the darned thing, and I plan to build a small cabinet--the same width--and mount it to the floor using the hardware that held the fridge down.
I mostly need the width of the fridge between the mounting hardware, so that I can build my cabinet to fit the space just right.
Thank you. _________________ 1986 Weekender, automatic, 2nd owner

I know this is a pretty old thread but does anyone have a photo of the original bolt down weekender frig? I am looking at an 86 this week and wanted to know if the set up in that one is original.
Thanks |

You do know that fridge is old technology and that far better 12v efficient actual refrigerators are on the market today?
I would think twice about buying an old unit like that.

Well I am not going to buy the weekender for the old refrigerator, I just wanted to know if it is original or not. Is that ok with you? Haha |
