Bought a refrigerator from Wal-Mart I've had it a few months now. But the compressor rattles on our wonderful roadways. Does anyone else have this problem. If so how cab I stop this problem. The rattling is driving me nuts. Thought about taken it off the rubbers bushings and setting in directly on the floor

Skunk_Truck_2590 Thanks this. -
Put it in the passenger seat & wrap seat belt across.
(Also qualifys you to put your hazmat paper in that seat with the strap holding it.) -
Make sure you have the extended warranty so when the compressor goes out, you can pull into Walmart, get a new one, and keep on trucking!

Don't take it off the bushings they are there for a reason unless you want it leaking freon into your truck

These are not made for trucks, the vibration coupled the use of a cheap inverter with the low voltage burnout aka brownout will destroy the compressor fast.
cabwrecker and HalpinUout Thank this. -
They only need a little over 100 watts to run and that's just at startup once its running it doesn't even register on my inverter I had one lasted 18 months for 150 bucks and lasting that long in a freight shaker it was worth the money so I bought another

Works just as well assuming you're not opening the door every two hours, and not trying to freeze a turkey in it. Hell, mine would freeze everything in it, when I put a new and better fan on it.
The beauty of a solid state cooling unit, is that it will run forever if it's cared for, properly. The downside is, it's still in a truck. And that destroys everything eventually, moving parts faster than anything else. Buying a fridge with a compressor (IE: 4 sets of bearings just on the motor and compressor) that isn't made specifically for a truck, is like asking for a bottle rocket you can shoot to the moon. You won't find it, and it won't work out.
