    I use Whynter FM-65G 65 Quart Portable Fridge/ Freezer https://a.co/d/edBDaoB

    Bought in 2019 and pretty much run it at -5 24/7 365 days a year.
    I run it off my inverter and it sits where my passenger seat would be. Well worth every penny.

    I had 3 different ones… used Dometic 35qt fridge freezer I bought on marketplace for $100 works great, AC or DC powered. Wanted something bigger so I found an ICECO 50 or 55 qt on marketplace, also cheap. AC or DC and it would freeze stuff. Then decided I wanted my floor space back and installed a Dometic Truck fridge I bought where? On marketplace… lolol. I think around $250 but it was new. It worked great also.

    it is worth it to get something more overland camping oriented and not real cheap or it will just break.

    I bought
    Arctic King
    Arctic King 1.1 Cu ft Upright Freezer AUFM011AEW, White
    $118.97

    But it's very small. I need something bigger that won't drain my battery by the time I wake up.

    I use a Bungie to keep it in the hole for the right size fridge. It's been great for 3 years now!

    Expensive yes but worth every penny. It's saved me 30 times that eating in the truck. Plus I haul food so I get to take home lots of food :p

    ENGEL - lasted us 8 years and still runs fine. Swing motor compressor designed for RV/Truck conditions.

    Essentially similar to the Whynter unit - and about the same price wise. But it'll last a looooong time.
     
    cke, haycarter and krupa530 Thank this.
