    Is anyone running a freezer in your truck? If you are what brand and model are you running and also 12 or 110 volt.
    If 110 are you running a separate inverter for the freezer?

    I use a 1.7 Galanz fridge(walmart $79) as a freezer. It is turned to the coldest setting. 110 v. Running on the same inverter that I use for everything else. I've had it for 1 1/2 years without any problems.

    I seal and freeze my food really well before bringing to the truck. (At least 2 days in my home freezer)

    I have the same fridge. I have found it to be just right for my needs. I only spend a night or two out so I don't need much. Keeps my drinks cold and a little food cold. Can't beat the price and if it does die on you (like my first one did after a month), WalMarts are easy to find to exchange it!

    That is what attracted me to it in the first place was the price and Walmarts are easy to find.

    I am OTR out 6 - 8 weeks. When I had my Volvo I had the Galanz 3.2 fridge as a fridge and the Galanz 1.7 as my freezer. That set up worked awesome. Had home cooked meals every day.

    Now that I have 2020 Cascadia that came with a fridge, my Galanz 1.7 sits on it and it fits perfectly. (Where the TV is suppose to go)
     
    PE_T and jdchet Thank this.

    Almost any of the modern 12v fridges can be used as freezers. There are lots and lots of brands now. I have owned about 5 or more Truckfridges in different RVs, trailers and my rig.
    Truckfridge.com

    Also, Whynter and Dometic as noted above plus...

    Vitrifrigo
    IndelB
    Isotherm
    Engel
    ARB
    National Luna

    The list goes on. They are really popular nowadays.
     
    PE_T Thanks this.

    I’ve had a dorm size fridge with separate freezer section for many years. 110v, and of course you need an inverter.
