    ARB is the biggest name in 12 volt refrigerator freezers though

    My friend goes camping for a week at a time and he runs the arb fridge the whole time with a solar panel charger also on the battery. Car starts up no problem after a week! I personally went with the truckfridge portable model for half the price and I am happy with it. Have never left it running more than overnight as of yet but I'm sure I'll leave it on one weekend soon lol

    If you catch it at the right time you can get $100 off. I picked one up during the sale a couple months ago

    The ARB and the Engle are both quality pieces. Both run an ulta low voltage compressor that will literally not drain the battery for days. (Accidentally left one on during a reset and no problem starting) I run three units in my truck. One as a freezer, one as a fridge and a small Engle next to my seat for in-flight snacks. They're about three years old now and not a peep out of any of them. The ARB models are a bit more modern than the Engle but both are rock solid. I can load up and go for weeks, and eat well, without buying a thing if I so choose. The old saying "Buy once, Cry once" applies when considering which model to buy. Bite the bullet and go with either an ARB or Engle and you won't be sorry. That's all I got....

    Glad to see not the only one with one! I went all out and got the arb 84 model. I think I went too big lol because I have a hard time fitting it. Driving. Peterbilt so it fits in the middle between sleeper and cab. I didn't know I could leave it plugged in for that long and no battery drainage. I spent like $1300 for mine, got from one of the trucking gear shops online. I love it, don't regret buying it one bit.. I will use it for as long as it lasts.

    I've had it for almost a year and it still going strong. Love the digital temperature setting...
