Most small refrigerators cool the fridge part by allowing only a portion of the air to circulate from the freezer part. You can just take the door off the freezer section and the whole fridge turns into a freezer.

I bought a 12v fridge. Not a cooler, the real fridge. Postage stamp ice box, but if you turned the dial down the entire thing would freeze.

Some thing I've heard about the 110v fridges is that they will not last long in a truck thanks to all the vibration and ride in a truck from poor roads.

I'll take your word for them lasting that long.

I wanted one that would fit the OEM space.

they said they were going to start the IRP for friday.

I still don't have a cab card.

we have a trailer going up that way. now they need to find a load to put on it

so it could be anytime I guess. they just need to get me my cab card and i'm not sure if that can be faxed or if it needs to be original.

I have some family things here this weekend I wanted to stay around for but they wern't sounding real impresed with that idea. and hnestly I do need to work so i'm not going to complain
