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

awesome! thanks..

i was digging around your albums hoping to see if you had a pic of the fridge inside your truck

 

For sure dude. No worries. I'll try to take a couple good pics when I get home

 

I have my engel 65qt running long ways behind the driver seat. I also don't have my rear seats in and I pulled the cubby. The fridge touches the back wall and my seat.

 

I'm on the fence between these three:

• Dometic CFX-35US Portable Electric Cooler Refrigerator/Freezer - 34 Quarts

I've got to find a way to hard wire which ever I buy in the bed of the truck, that contrary to the Tacoma, doesn't have a 12volt plug.

 

dude.

i need to see this fridge in person, unless you know a place here that has them?

 

i also found another brand called edgestar..looks a lot like whynter

 

This is the route I'm going to try to take with this truck

 

I should be around this weekend if you want to stop by. I don't know of anyone local that has these. Maybe I should bring in a Trail Toys line of fridges.

 

Yes please!

 

I bought one, don't feel to wronery

 

no

 

Hey @DoorDing, great write up on the fridge. Unfortunately the 21"H measurement would not fit under my flex under-cover. Just have to keep reading!!!

 

Yes, when I'm driving I plug it into outlet in the back. Just make sure you turn on the inverter before you put the truck into drive (automatics) and don't forget to turn it back on after short stops. I have an auxiliary battery in the bed which I plug into while camping.

As far as drawer slides, I got the KV 8800 which is heavy duty, probably overkill, but relatively inexpensive and has a very long slide.

 

Good point. Or get some sort of tray for food that sits above the slushy ice, but I still want a fridge.

 

Does anyone with a Whynter know if it has a low-voltage shutoff?

 

Thanks for the reminder. I have one, but I've never used it.

 

If you're camping, then you're doing it correctly.

 

Nobody goes camping anymore. Everything is an expedition. Expo this, and expo that, expo with a wiffle ball bat. lol

 

I don't get all the wet slushy food in my ice chest. I freeze 1/2 gallon milk jugs and use them. They last a good three to four days.

When I use a kid, we would go camping for a week or longer. My mom used to put dry ice in the ice chest. No water mess, just don't touch the ice.

The fridge is in my future plans, so I can take longer trips.

 

We bring a 65L fridge and a small yeti cooler with ice for drinks.
