Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

Love that trailer design. I may end up renting one to try one out.

 

It was the most well designed (and built) of the many many versions I found and looked at. It's great for California, but it could be a bit of a challenge where it rains much.

 

Is there anyone rocking a 12 volt fridge/freezer combo on there Tundra??? I want to pull the trigger on one for my 2015 Crew Max but I need Tacoma World's experts advise and recommendations regarding brand, size, installation and any othe info I might need. Thanks in advanced!!!

 

Do y'all with outlets in the bed, plug the fridge in there?

 

You can but the fridge will only be on when the engine is running then

 

the whynter fridges ive heard are decent as well

 

sorry for quoting a day old post..

Ive been looking at these same fridges, been wondering if they would fit behind the passenger seat in the taco..

are you able to open the lid with it inside the truck?

sorry if you posted pics, but they wont load at work

 

@omaguz check out the last 2 or 3 pages of this thread. Talks all about brands and sizes of fridges

 

Before I had my kid and my dog I kept my fridge in the cab behind the passenger seat and it was a great spot. The lid opened fine and I ran the cable along the gap by the passenger seat and center console right to the cigarette lighter. I love my whynter fridge. Got the 65qt for like $520 and paid an extra $50 for an extra 3 years of warranty (total of 6 years) from Home Depot. I just couldn't spend the $800+ for an ARB at the time. Haven't regretted it one bit though. I've been very pleased with its performance.

 

It's a very tight fit in my 1st gen xcab. Someone sitting in the passenger set cannot lean back and the seat will be moved forward a little. Doesn't matter for me as I never have a passenger when out and about. I am able to open the lid about 3/4 of the way open. Enough to be able to get the baskets in and out so that is plenty for loading and unloading. Sorry, no pics.

 

ive been debating the size.. if a 65QT fits back there and you can open the lid all the way...wow

what about the front seat?

do you have to move it forward quite a bit?

are you placing the fridge in the rear seat cushion, or are you removing the cushion and placing it on some sort of platform..

 

lol i keep thinking about your fridge that youre selling.. but i need to finalize what size i want..

something large, but small enough to fit in the taco back seat AND in my 3rd gen 4runner.

both are builds

 

I'm sorry, I can open it about 3/4 of the way like digiratus. Plenty enough to get things in and out comfortably though. I had it behind the passenger seat on top of the cushions on a 2 week 3300 mile trip and my wife who is 5'6" sat very comfortably up front in the passenger seat.

 

the fiancee is 5'4" .. thats exactly what i needed to hear..

 

aw punk..

thats what i get for waiting too long

 

You'd probably be good with the 45qt, the only reason my wife and I got the 65qt is because we knew we'd be having a kid sometime soon. And the price difference wasn't a lot so we got the bigger one. On a 2 week trip we planned out meals and stuff and the 65qt held everything the we needed to be refrigerated, we only had to stop 2 times on our trip for Milk and bread

 

we dont plan to have kids, so maybe a 45qt sounds reasonable.

i just wish they had these on display so i can get an idea of how big they are on the inside and what not.

 

i keep digging around craigslist hoping to find a deal..

anyone in maine?

 

Yeah man 45qt should work for you.

The only picture I have of my fridge is this one right when I got it haha. No help sorry


When I get home from my vacation on Saturday I could take better pictures to give you an idea of size on my 65qt
