Dometic/Waeco make the fridges for ARB.

 

I've seen this information repeated in forums. However I'm not so sure it's true. I've disassembled my ARB and cataloged it's parts. My ARB was assembled in China land, with components from several countries. I can report more on this later.

Thanks!

Very good! I'd been hunting for some details... Guess I skipped over the marketing info. lol

Long quote, cause it's worth it..

 

Installed a custom set.

Thanks @1MK

 

It's good to be stiff...

 

I reckon I'm going to need to look into these for mine to help deal with the weight of the FlipPac.

 

I have that same model whynter. Love it.

 

Not worth it to me

 

Yes.

It's somewhere in my build thread. Probably pages 10-15ish.

 

When I was researching what brand of fridge to go with, I came about that bit of information and it sealed the deal on buying the Dometic. There are differences between my fridge and yours, a good example being the condenser and fan setup varies a little bit, but I figure the overall quality and longevity should be on par.

Would have gone with the ARB but I was dead set on having the lid open long ways.

Nice. Wish they all came that way.

 

How are these a custom set? They look just like the TC pictures but installed on opposite sides....

 

Box and string = tasty meats with eggs

 

The last two pictures show mounting rails for Track Tie like tie downs. The red things are the tie downs.

 

I'm aware of that....those have been installed for a while. The picture shows TC bed stiffeners and he mentions that they are a custom set.

 

Yup, it's just the gusset opposite of how they usually come.

 

Custom because there's track tie now. That's how I saw it.

 

This is correct. Crom wanted the gussets to be closest to the tailgate to they wouldn't interfere with his storage routine.

 

A stepping stone to the fridge

 

Going to be ordering an RTIC shortly
