    Don't know, they've added a lot of models though. I have never paid retail. I've shown up in person and gotten a 10% discount more than once and no tax on top of that. I can't guarantee they do this for anyone but you can ask.

    BTW, Truckfridge aren't Chinese junk. They are rebranded Vitrifrigo and IndelB fridges that are made in Italy. They have been big in marine and RV for years before Truckfridge started selling them for trucks. They make a lot of specific ones for common truck models too.

    I was thinking the tf78. Says it will fit in the closet if my pete. Tell the truth though. I really like this. I like that it gives some storage and organization.

    ^^^ That's awesome but man, the price! That fridge is 47 liter, which translates to 1.65 cu.ft. The Truckfridge above that you can get for around $6-700 is 4.6 cu.ft

    If you have the space.

    Dometic makes good fridges. I think they are actually made by Isotherm, another RV fridge maker that's been around a long time.

    I had one of those running on an inverter before I got the TF I have now. It was nice but it would wipe out my 4 batteries in a day and a half. The bigger freezer was nice. You can't beat these modern DC compressor fridges for efficiency.

    My truck has 4 batteries. I never turn my fridge off. If I'm gonna park for more than 3 days I turn the APU on standby. So, 24/7, in the summer, 3-4 days I guess.

    When I redo my sleeper I'm going to put two very large agm 200ah batteries under the bunk connected to an isolator. Who knows when that will be though, but that's the plan.

    In a 780 Volvo you can fit a 4.5cuft fridge in the lower cabinet behind the drivers seat. All you have to do is remove the cabinet doors.
