2011 Freightliner refrigerator and inverter question

Not that I am aware of. Almost 2 yrs old,.. just plugged it in and put food in it. Clean it out when I come home. Frostless freezer.

Hurst,
Very nice setup. Two questions on the Frieghtliner modifications:
1) My 2013 Freightliner cabinet behind the driver includes a section at the very bottom of the cabinets with some type of equipment. The cover has vent holes. What's in there and did you have to (re)move the contents?
2) The lower portion of the cabinets in your picture look like they were custom made. All of the corners are nicely rounded - no signs of removing the bottom cabinets. Is this because what is left is what was the top of an open space in the cabinet stack?

 

Thanks 52! Understand...will not be playing around with HVAC. Any thoughts on doing the same thing as Hurst but on the Passenger side cabinets? In my unit - I would be removing the cabinet and open space at the bottom of the cabinet (64E-007 below).

My truck is a Columbia. I have been inside a Cascadia and they are very similar in terms of how the cabinets are designed and mounted to the sleeper walls.

Min had 2 cabinets behind the driver seat. An upper and a lower. I did not touch the upper. There are screws/bolts at the back of the cabinet that mounts to a bracket that attaches to the sleeper wall. I just unbolted everything, with some pulling and tugging it comes out and went right out the passenger side door.

I was left with nothing but the open space behind the seat. I carpeted everything in the back. All you are seeing in the pic of the fridge is the fridge itself and the microwave on top. No cabinet at all. I left the original bracket attached to the well and use a bungee strap to the back of the fridge to prevent it from falling over in the even of a hard turn.

The outlet is mounted in the lower cabinet on the passenger side. I have plans to put an indoor floor style stand up AC inside that cabinet and will probably move the outlet to the upper portion of the lower cabinet.

Nothing fancy,.. very simple and easy to do. I have a condo so there is still plenty of room for other storage, plus I removed the mattress from the upper bunk and use that like a large shelf for storage.

The rear HVAC controls are on the rear wall in the left rear corner to the back of the sleeper. I had no wiring or panels to contend with.

Not sure in the Cascadia,.. but in the Columbia I could have just as easily put the fridge behind the passenger seat.
