    Hi. I am interested in purchasing a 12v DC Refrigerator, roughly 1 - 2 square feet, maybe 3 if the cost/value ratio is there. DC preference.

    Besides my first question, what retailers have the best deals / value for cab accessories (online is fine and likely better since I'm midwest located).

    Thanks
    Tim MKE

    Fwiw..I just got a Igloo 12v cooler and now thinking to return it..
    Seems to do what it’s advertised to do but.. I don’t like how hot the plug becomes. Take it out after a little while and it gets too hot to touch.

    Although I used points to pay the $125ish..I feel they are a waste of money.

    The one's I had installed in my other trucks ( Freightliners ), from Freightliner are really nice, but you're looking at $1,000 installed.

    I'm the owner, using an ice chest.
