Buying a new refrigerator

I'm REALLY hoping to get on with a company that will allow a decent size inverter, so hopefully I will be getting a 120v fridge. I'll have to head over to there website thanks.

I will be driving for Schneider soon and will have to get a new refrigerator as you cant eat out every day and still have money for bills at home. I really don't know what size will fit in a company truck but I am sure someone here does. I don't need a freezer. I also don't want to buy from a truck stop as they charge too much!. I believe the model I will need will have to be 12 volts as well as 110. I don't want to spend too much on this. any suggestions as to models that work well at a reasonable price would be appreciated!. I do not want those igloo type coolers I want one with a real compressor.

 

the size and model will depend on what truck you get as in how wide the cabnites are. If you get a truck with an apu and a power inverter you are set to buy a cheapy from wally world. but if you are not so lucky you get to spend the big bucks on a 12 volt fridge. Engel is the main company that comes to mind.

 

What you are looking for is a Waeco CF-35DC. Its a portable refrigerator, with a compressor and thermostat ... just what you have asked for. It has a 33 quart capacity, low voltage shut-off, and plugs right into the cigarette lighter outlet. Temperature control from 50F - 0F. It is one of our most popular refrigerators.

 

Yep, all you have to do is a search. These are expensive but totally reliable in all temperatures. You could leave it in your truck on a 100 degree day with the engine off and it would still keep your stuff ice cold. I have an Edgestar and it works as a freezer or refrigerator and will plug in the cigarrete lighter or 120v regular plug.

 

I just ordered one from you yesterday afternoon. How come they are so much cheaper than normal and than the smaller models? I was kind of leary about it but ordered it anyway

 

If the carrier will allow an inverter of at least 1000 watts you can go to Lowe's and buy a Frigidaire mini upper lower two door fridge/freezer.It will fit behind the either seat with the cabinet removed in both Freightliner Columbia/Century or any Volvo 610-780.
I know because this is what I have been using for the past 10 years.
The Lowe's model is my 2nd one in that time frame,I did upgrade to a 1500 watt inverter but that was to install a toaster oven as well.
The cost is about $99-$130 depending on which model you get as they stock two types.
