    Anyone have any links or reviews they recommend to get acquainted with the different fridge options out there?

    I bought an ARB 50L fridge on a Christmas sale and it works great for weekend trips for keeping beer and food cold.

    I cannot seem to find the link but someone did a comparison on all of the major brands and the Dometic won.

    Also, Message us if you decide to make a decision and want to buy a Dometic because we are a dealer for them.

    Overland Journal does a review about once every two years of most of the fridge's on the market. Check out expedition portal and they may have the review up there.

    My problem is a strict 16.5" max height requirement, unless I do some pretty major chopping on my trailer, and I rather not do that.

    I bought an ARB ELEMENTS but have yet to install it as the snow has only recently melted here in VT!

    I just bought a Dometic 35 and it is 16.3 " - so it might work for ya. I was limited by height as well and dometic was the only one I could fit

    Take a look at the Engel fridges. The MT35 is only 16 inches tall. I bought it for that very reason. I have two issues with the fridge and one being there is no low voltage disconnect, secondly there is no drain plug.
