portable coolers or refrigerators

What's the "plus" if you can't put a fridge in it? That sounds like a minus.

I ought to write some of these manufacturers and give them the idea of making them two inches narrower for truck drivers.

 

Older KW 900 had a fridge under the bunk that slid out like a compartment, was a good fridge as well.

 

In husbands old volvo condo, we had the coleman which sat on the floor, I would set it down and cook on it; and then he had the old little dorm fridge that fit under the bed. This volvo had the table that made down into a bed like rv's do. Couldn't complain about the room on the truck and storage.

 

It won't fit. Best thing to do is take the passenger shelf out behind passenger seat. (If your co. will let you) Put fridge there or in pass. seat and lower it and seat belt it in. Be sure to put an empty bottle under the edge of it, or it'll dump your stuff out. I drive a Cascadia and its in the floor in front of the shelves and bottom bunk. Its big, but there is still plenty of room for me to stand next to it and get dressed. Even ran teams with it, and it looks big and like it takes up a bunch of room, but the convenience is worth way more. I never even considered a cooler and both trainers I had 2 years ago had coolers. One was a reg cooler he bought ice for, and the other a Coleman. Both worked, but neither as good as my fridge.

 

I moved passenger seat 9 in forward to make a room for dorm size fridge and microwave. I all most never have passenger and it useable if need to.

I have INTERNATIONAL PROSTAR 51 in sleeper. Using 1000 w. inverter.

 

I had my first Coleman for over two years before the fan went out. I got another one 8 months ago and its been fine. I also heard that the fans burn out fast. Guess it depends on what you consider "fast".

 

My issue with the Coleman was that the plug would melt, and it wasn't easily detachable like the Igloo cooler's is. Two in a year was enough for me.
