    I'm sure you could find someone with some old stock somewhere, but be leery if they're an authorized reseller or not. And I just looked and they have a 45, so that's what my recommendation would be.

    Not liking the recall, however I definitely appreciate the heads-up. Especially that while in the driveway, I used to plug the fridge into AC power and I wasn't unplugging DC plug, which according to the pdf letter is a big no-no (in red letters)

    So this recall INCLUDES new ones that haven't even shipped yet?

    How’s everyone mounting their fridge slide? No need to over complicate this right? Drill some through holes and use bolts and fender washers? Don’t know if that will support the weight of a fully extended fridge.

    Yep exactly. 1/4"-20 hardware works great. Or if you want to get fancy, rivnuts.

    Right. Even a #10-32 screw has more strength than you’d need for a fridge.

    My slide is custom, but I’m sure the others are pre-drilled for a specific size.

    I’m having issues with my DZ75. I bought this fridge to run a second battery(separate of the truck battery) in the bed, and keep it charged with a solar panel. The first day I got it, I hooked up a marine starting battery that was a few years old. I wasn’t too surprised that it didn’t last 12hrs, and when I got home, my smart charger said it was ruined. So I removed my deep cycle from my camper that is only 3 months old, and tried it yesterday for my 12 hr shift. I ended up dropping to 12.3v, by the time I got home. Mind you, my solar panel isn’t hooked up yet because I wanted to recreated a nighttime scenario. Woke up this morning to my smart charger saying that this one is ruined also. These are both full sized lead acid batteries, but they should last longer than this right???? Also, it won’t go lower than 9 degrees F, even plugged into AC overnight. Not sure what’s going on here, but I’m Less than thrilled with my expensive fridge.

    Is your fridge empty?
