I noticed all of the Volvo trucks have the fridge behind the driver's seat. A lot of places I go to I have to sit in the driver seat to watch when a dock door opens up or waiting in line at a guardshack or when I get a green light. With my Freightliner I am able to easily grab something out of the fridge since it is located to my right. But with the Volvo I have to get up and walk to the sleeper just to get a drink out of the fridge? Or can you reach back and grab it? Thanks.
Simple question to anyone with a Volvo that has a fridge

I can reach my fridge from the drivers seat... As long as what I need is in the top self of the door or the main top self and very close to door... Usually only go for the soda I keep I the top self of door...

I drove a KW T680 with the fridge behind the driver's seat. I could easily open it up and get a drink while I was driving without taking my eyes off the road.

You may consider the installation of a mini fridge which is conveniently reachable for you. It will likely need a power inverter. Small refrigerators can use on average 500 watts. The pre-built Volvo refrigerator can be switched off.

600 series truck you can reach out, they're much smaller fridges too.
700 series... No way. -
I have arms as long as an ape. I can reach everywhere....
TruckRunner and tucker Thank this. -
I ripped out my passenger side closet and put a fridge/freezer and a microwave there.. easily reached driving.. I have tried to get stuff out of the driver side cabinet driving and it was no bueno.. the door opens towards cab instead of bed or it would have worked.
