    The question is, will you be able to hang meat in there when it's done?

    Well it is cool idea no pun intended.

    But I do know this and I hope you do not have this issue.

    Refrigerators not designed to be in a truck fail after about a year because they are not designed to be jostled about like they are in a truck.

    I like it I do I hope you do not have this issue.
    Great way to stay cool

    Some update guys.
    So far AC is working OK. I have diesel generator with remote start installed connected to the truck fuel tanks.
    Aluminum diamond shaped cover is almost ready to be on still looking for insulation like is under hood to damp noise. Right now if reefer is running it barely can be heard.
    Have to consider where and how to park truck to keep condensation water running out. Condensation will be less if windows are up.

    Another question, how much is a generator like that, and how did you get it to draw from the truck fuel tank?
     
    Snailexpress Thanks this.

    The generator is ETQ. It is china clone of Yanmar engine DG4LE. You can find same generator under different brand name. Aurora is one of them. Google itI scored this on on the local sale for $ 200. Was hunting for my over one year.
    Ebay has a lot of fuel pick up electrical pumps and remote start. The fuel pumps can be used in reefer fuel system as well to lift fuel to the reefer unit.
