    If you are going to have a dealer install the fridge you might want to get a quote before you even buying one. When I was looking for a truck a few years ago I was hearing over $2k for a new one installed.

    If your truck has not previously had the factory fridge it is a little involved to do it "right." If you know someone that has a Volvo with the factory fridge you might want to take a look at it(and possibly remove it) so you know what is involved if you are considering installing one yourself. A little complicated but doable.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks again for posting that link. I wound up buying it and it should be here Wed/Thurs.

    Once it gets here and I get in the truck I'll call Volvo to see what they'll charge to install it.

    The ones they quoted me were "aftermarket" and I'd have to talk with Service for an installation quote anyway.

    Since I saved so much on it, I won't mind another a $100-200 to have it professionally installed.

    To get a fridge serviced nation wide in a volvo is like wining lotto. I have been driving around now for 2 years trying to find a person or a dealer to fix it. GOOD LUCK. They all say the same thing. Get a new fridge $1200.00 NOBODY i willing to fix it. At least NO volvo dealer.

    All truck dealers, all they do is throw parts at it, the fridge is one big part.

    If I had a problem with a 12 volt fridge, I would go to a large RV dealer
