The Cruise 49 and 65 sure look identical to the truck fridge in the same denominations, yet substantially cheaper, google the cruise, I was able to find pricing. Sleepwell, battery powered AC

They do look identical to the TF or VF versions although the t-stat appears to have been relocated from the right side above the sticker.

What's the $$$ savings that you found? I always recommend buying from Westyventures given their great service to the gang here on the samba and elsewhere.

A challenge for you may be around importing to Canada from a us retailer. There are pages regarding folks who drop ship it to a mailbox on the us side and drive back to Canada.

The Isotherm is the same fridge, same company - Indel-B. The only real difference is some models have the center latch and optional cold plate to store cold when excess power is available.

Thanks for the plug, but I stopped selling when the profit margin dropped to $20, thanks in part to the ridiculous tariffs imposed.

Oh, then buy a Propex or starter adapter or something else. The point is to alert folks that small businesses support our hobby pretty well and sending them business when it makes sense makes sense to me.
