    Thinking about getting this fridge/freezer from Menards. A smaller one would work also but I like the freezer space on it.
    Found that it uses 36 watts. I have a 2500 watt inverter and only using a TV, Blu-ray player and phone charger on it currently but plan on getting a microwave also.
    My concern is it tipping over while going down the road. I don't have a cabinet behind the passenger seat so it will go there. It weighs 55 pounds. Is there any worry on it? Or should I talk to my company and see what they would do to secure it?

    you figure amp x 114 to = watts. that fridge will use more then 36 watts. dont look at watts on anything you buy. look at amps( start up amps and running amps)

    That should work, especially with the cabinet taken out already. I've had the same black and decker fridge for 3 years, almost the same size just one door instead of two. No issues, but more appliances means more wear on the batteries, my company doesn't bug me about it, though.
