Compact Fridge / Freezer

Not sure about the inverter question but if the fridge wasn't built with the purpose of being put in a RV or SEMI than it might not hold up.

I had a little bar fridge but the constant vibration caused it to crap out in 6 months.Hope yours last longer.

Walmart 2 door dorm fridge. Last one went 7 years, this one is 3 years old. 1500w generic inverter 15 years old.

 

You guys are keeping the good ones @ sending all the crap ones up here to us then.

 

I'm selling a Truckfridge brand refrigerator. 6 months old, like new. Retail for $550. Will let it go for $250. PM me if interested.

 

Tons of people run magic chiefs, myself included. Get a 2500watt pure sine inverter and you can run microwave with it also. BTW, why did they take the seat out? Fridge fits nicely instead of cabinet behind the seat

 

what DUNE-T says.
Magic Chief consumes 80 watt when running I have to use 1000 watt inverter from TS with microwave 600 watt and frige for 8 years.
vibration will kill your fride if you didn't secure it right.
Remove useless cabinet, 4 bolts on the bottom, 2 to the sleeper wall and 4 to the upper cabinet.
Cut 1/2 -1'' plywood 21x21 ''. Place plywood where was cabinet and mark holes for the bolts. drill holes with counterbore and secure plywood to the sleeper floor. Place frige on the plywood adjust level and secure fride to plywood with brackets and good screws. Buy good beer put it in the frige and call us.

 

Thats pretty much what I have in mine. Black And Decker mini dorm/motel style fridge with freezer. I think I paid $159 or $169 for it. Been in here 2 years along with an 800 watt el cheapo $69 microwave.

A question for all you fine men. Is propane illegal or a giant pain n the as on a CMV?

Why not RV propane refrigeration/freezers ? 24 days on 25 lb Cheap cheap cheap and super reliable.

 

My opinion of course.
Electrical wires run inside the cab easier then hoses with propane.
You have to check propane level
You have to secure propane bottle to satisfy each predator waiting on you in area marked as WEIGH STATION
You have to unsecure bottle every time you need to change
If you compare the investment in equipment and installation - $100 refrigerator and $100 - $200 inverter with wires
Total is $300.
As propane refrigerator going up to $835 plus hoses, fittings............
