I just installed a TruckFridge in my winter project van... and it's summer.

Here is a little video. If some have question I have picture also.


I only had my cell phone so quality is so so.

It look like my thread is of no interest Smile

Anyway, here is another vid showing the batteries setup. A good 350 usable amp.

I like that spot for the batteries, using up that hidden space with the divider removed.

Looks nice! Will you leave a hole for the fan when you put the board over the bottom, or just remove it when it's on?

Does a truck fridge only run on 12V?

I've used my fridge once and while it gets cold enough in one spot, the rest of is it above 8degrees Celcius, so not safe...Then the door wouldn't open, then it would.

If you're parked for a few days and it's 12V, how can you re-charge your batteries? Is there some sort of converter that will allow the shore line to do it?

Will do a search/read on fridges, as there are probably lots of threads, given the $1,000 I'm not there yet.
