    Yea, you can order one through Freightliner..$$$$
    Or go to a camping/ Rv dealer and see what they have.
    We run an invertor in our trk. and bought a small fridge at Walmart. spent like 130.00 for it..

    Thanks for reply. Just starting out with the Pumpkins, and stuck with using 12v and a maximum 180w inverter.

    I had a fridge/ freezer setup years ago I bought from another driver, it ran on 12 volt.
    Can't remember the name of it, but he said it was bought at an RV dealer. I liked it and was less drain on the battery verses the Igloo or Coleman coolers they sell in the trk. stops.

    Koolatron is a good brand if you want to buy a cooler or refrigerator. Less draw than a Coleman and very reliable. I've had the Funcool over a year (cooler only) and it's going strong. I've checked out their refrigerator, which is about $200, but it wasn't going to fit in my T680.

    Google 12 volt refrigerator. I do not like my truckfridge chest model. Next time I'll bite the bullet & buy an Engel.

    Cooler is prolly best bet with cigerette lighter. I don't think the cigeratte plug can handle the amps of a fridge. Direct writing to battery is a no no with sni.
