Refrigerator?

[SS308]

What's everyone using for a portable refrigerator besides a cooler?

Tips and tricks on hooking up/installing and battery usage.

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking at something similar. Wanting to have a standalone system not connected to the main battery.

I'm wondering why you can't have the refrig in the backseat (seat folded up) and just plug into the 12V outlet?

Would it exhaust too much heat?

I use a rock pals generator and 100w solar cell (as back up power) and wired an upfitter line to the bed and have a Massimo CX40 cooler that I bought from Costco as a damn good deal. Paid under $300 for the Massimo delivered to my house from Costco and $180 for the folding 100w solar panel and $260 for their 330w portable power generator.

I think you absolutely could do that. A big factor would be which fridge you choose. Going the route of running solely off your truck battery look for a fridge that is smart enough to turn itself off once that battery drops below a certain voltage. Or have an excellent backup method for starting your truck if you end up with a dead battery..
