    Have you tried looking into coolers like the dometic cf-50? I bought mine at the Joplin petro and it works much better than the other 12v peltier cooler design fridges.

    My trainer had the Truckfridge model for 1 1/2 year before it broke, when it did, he boxed it up, sent it back and they sent him a new one, no charge....at least they stand behind the product....

    I have wal mart brand 1.7 cu ft Galanz brand and it sort of works. I have it on highest setting and it cools only as good as my old fridge did (that one lasted 2 years)
    Ill be taking it back to wallys for refund and im going shopping for another one from Lowes or Sears, I dont mind paying more for better quality.
    Ill try fixing old one I had, I think it needs recharge

    Have a 08 386 Pete and wanna put the original in cabinet style Peterbilt fridge in. Anyone have one that can answer some questions?
    1st are they 12v/ 110v or all only 12v?
    2nd how are they as far as dependability? How long b4 it's gonna die?
    3rd where's the best place to buy?
    Saw them at Iowa 80 for about $450 and at Peterbilt for $580 - $625 guess my ? Really is " is it worth spending the Xtra money from Pete are they made better than the aftermarket replacements?
    Please Help
    Sick of buying $100 mini fridges that die every year plus would like to have the floor space back!
    Thanks!
