    I checked out your site and will be buying several items from you over the course of the next few years.

    To buy: this fridge, Front Runner RTT, 6.5' Awning, and a few other accessories. I wanted to check out the fridge slide but couldn't find it. I noticed your site does not have any photos or available bed drawers/slides to view.

    Can you post some photos of the fridge slide you mention in your original post?

    Thanks!
    When browsing from a phone it’s hard to go page by page and all that good stuff.

    the fridge looks like a win. The drawer isn’t quite what I’m looking for, so I’ll keep browsing.

    I finally remembered to come go page by page to find the answer... will this fit under a tonneau cover? ... nope.

    Is there a model offered that fits under a cover? I'm not looking to get a topper for a while.

    I have yet to see any tonneau cover that clears a fridge unless you get a itty bitty fridge

    I was afraid of that. Was wishful thinking about a short and wide fridge...

    Ah that’s always the worst.
    Fridge is a nice travel game changer. Love ours, and it’s a good price.
    Next will be a dual zone one.

    I want it for work, camping is just a bonus. I carry 1.5 gallons of tea to work with me. I use a towel as a cooler to keep them cold, it works better than cooler (no ice needed).

    You’ll like it if you get it. I haven’t had any issues with mine. It can have some bigger temp swings when on eco mode, but that’s expected.

    Oh yeah? Thats a good idea.

    Honestly, I was expecting this thing to be super heavy. But I’ve loaded it up and it doesn’t feel any heavier than a loaded cooler the same size. Probably even lighter. It would be easy to move in and out of the truck if needed.

    I received my fridge on Nov 6th 2018. The past few weeks its struggling to maintain temp. Fans are clear of obstructions, it's been 50ish average outside temp. The latch broke about 6 months ago and due to the design I could not see a way to repair it. Fridge is set on 36 degrees, this morning it was 52 in the cooler. I think she's on the fritz. Maybe the broken latch is causing the compressor to run more frequently if it's not sealing as well, not sure. It held temp fine with the broken latch for months for whatever it's worth. I'll give it to the fridge that I've ran it in my vehicle every day since I got it and got a lot of use out of it so I'm not upset, I did hope it would last a few years though. Not at knock on Mike's they were a pleasure to deal with and he's just selling them, I get it.

    Anyway I wanted to share some feedback from my 1.5ish years of use with the fridge. Be careful with the latch..lol
