I run the ARB Elements fridge, plugged into a Jackery 500. Jackery gets plugged into the truck or solar depending on where/how I need to recharge it. Although I do trust the auto shut-off voltage detection feature on the Elements, I really wanted the flexibility of a system not connected (permanently) to the main battery.

I love the setup, and the fridge can live inside or outside of the truck with no worries about weather.

I don't have a current photo of it on the Raptor, but here it is on my Jeep:

+1 to see your setup on the Raptor

Will do - I am having a bed slide made for the Raptor (identical to the one above on my Jeep) that will hold the fridge, hopefully it'll be ready in a couple weeks. I'll take photos when everything's in place. For now, I've just been strapping it down to the bed of the Raptor as needed, nothing fancy.

I still like small AC fridges and freezers run by a small inverter generator for a few hours/day. Keeps deer/elk/pigs, frozen or cold. You have a freezer/fridge you can use elsewhere as well as a generator too. 12V fridges pull a lot of amps, and aren't as efficient as 110V.

For hooking up, I directly connected my Dometic CFX3 to my vehicle's 12v outlet. I also have a dual-battery system to keep my camping refrigerator running without draining my car battery. To save battery power, I pre-chill my food and drinks, avoid opening the fridge too often, and use freezer packs. It's a game-changer!
