    I bet the AC model has better cooling versus my 12v one, but so far mine hasn't failed me. I keep raw meat frozen in the freezer section of it and it's kept everything good and cold. My small gas grill BBQ, and the fridge are two really great items for me, I love em! Makes eating good food on the road real easy. Now if I could figure out how to cook chef's fried rice properly on the road I'd be stoked!

    I think that's about 1/2 off or more than buying from Kenworth.

    I assume it slips right in the existing cabinetry?

    What about venting? Do you have to do anything special for that?

    Yup, it is a lot cheaper than the dealer price. It fit perfectly into the OEM hole and is 1" shorter to allow you a gap at the bottom for airflow. I stuck a piece of shelving under it, slid it into the hole, used self tapping metal screws to screw it into the cabinet flanges and then pulled the shelf out leaving the gap for airflow. It worked great and only took me 15 minutes to install.

    Truckfridge gives a 2 year warranty. Hopefully I won't need it. Yeah that's the only thing I don't like about cooking on the truck is the cleanup. The gas grill is nice since I just wire brush the grill and burn off the crud for a minute before I cook anything. Pretty easy.

    Ahhh. Yeah I just did seals on an older reefer. Sure made a difference!

    I've had ice cream in mines but the wrappers would freeze to the freeze to the lining and make a mess so no more ice crean but I always have some lunch meat, cheese, and pepperonis for sandwhiches and milk for cereal. I can't cook so I only buy easy to make stuff.
