    TruckFridge makes one specifically for the Prostar. www.truckfridge.com I just ordered one and I'm working my way home to San Antonio now. It cost $499 plus $45 shipping.

    The Coleman 40 quart cooler will fit but the drawer has to be removed. I've been using one for a few years. It's a cooler not a fridge so it does have limitations. I had to modify the 12v plug. When I put in the new fridge I'll get the drawer back.

    Watch a tight fit with the coolers. To work well they need lots of air circulating. When I did the drawer thing in my Prostar there wasn't enough room for air to circulate and the warm air it was putting out pooled around the intake and it wasn't nearly as cool as when I laid it on it's side with the fan out like a conventional ice chest and just dealt with sliding it in and out to get into. I thought about rigging up a cardboard vent for it to get fresh air from the bunk but I found that using it like a regular ice chest didn't bother me. Plus I got my drawer back. Just MHO.

    I pulled the drawer out and left it out which leaves plenty of room for air circulation. I sure am looking forward to getting my junk drawer back; every kitchen, and truck, needs a junk drawer. I never thought of laying it down. Great idea.

    As pointed out, there is the $500 option. However, keep in mind before you commit to spending that amount that there's no guarantee you'll remain in that truck, and there's no guarantee your next truck will be the same make and model. So you might be better off looking for a "general purpose" fridge - or the aforementioned cooler - rather than a truck specific fridge.
