Mini Freezer in the truck? Is it doable?

ENGEL -

It's about $700 - refrigerates and turns down to freeze if necessary.

Used one for over 10 years, faultless.

 

I’m also interested in an extra cooler or freezer. My hot logic lunch box works so good that I just want to go on a shopping spree for ready made foods.

 

Every time I see that adorable little kitty behind the wheel I want to recommend it to state legislators as an alternative to 18 year olds driving big rigs.

That being said - check out those ENGEL units - made for the RV market, swing motor compressor thingy thing. Held up to LOADS of PUNISHMENT.

 

Just haul frozen food and keep it in reefer.

 

After more than 20 years in use, my old one died. Got this one now:

Goes below 0 F, perfect for me. Have it sitting on the frame of my passenger seat, doesn't impact vision to the passenger side. I just place a hot plate on top and cook homemade meals, prepared from my wife.
Saves me $$$$ on my trips and tastes better and healthier than truck stop food.

 

Be weary of using regular compressor fridges in your truck. I had one of those dorm mini fridges and they would burn out every 6 months, I replaced two of them under warranty until I just left it at home and it's worked ever since. I don't think they're made to handle the movement or summer heat.

 

Wynter FM-65g, about $567 on Amazon. There is another challenge for the op. As a new driver the company you first drive for may not have or allow inverters with enough wattage to run a microwave or hot plate.

My Wally world dorm fridge is 7 yrs old and still running on the 7yr old 1500w Wally world inverter.......

 

Got about 2 1/2 years on mine. Runs on an 1800 watt Xantrex. I think the secret is to keep them strapped down tight with ratchet straps. I also have an APU that always keeps the batteries topped up, providing good voltage to the inverter.
