TruckFridge Portables Group Buy Now Open

They are Indel-B brand. TruckFridge is just their American distributor from what I understand. I bought a 51 in the last group buy and I love it. Just need to upgrade my battery in the 4Runner so I can leave it in there full time.

 

awesome! thanks for the pics!

 

Convinced myself to buy the TF-41.. I gotta stay away from this group buy section for a bit!

Cold things commence.. pretty excited, especially with the flexibility this fridge offers when plugged in to 120 ac in my art studio or small apartment as well.

Thank you @TruckFridge !

 

After debating this during the last 2 group buys, finally pulled the trigger on a TF51. Can't wait!

 

I run mine on a stock battery, full time. Dual battery is a month or two away for me.

 

I'd like to see this mount and it's "quick disconnect"

 

Out of curiosity, how often are you starting the truck?

I'd only have this in my truck when I'm camping (3-4 days max). If I'm camping with some friends at an established campsite, I don't start my truck every day.

Was planning on making a battery box using the cheapest deep cycle battery I can find at walmart and just trickle charge it before my trips. If I kill the battery, no big deal, just plug it into the truck.

 

Mine ran full time on a stock battery for about 3 montgs with no problems. Bow its worn the battery down to where if I have it plugged in my truck will be dead after about 12 hours if I don't start it.

 

Let it sit without starting for about 18 hours at the longest. I think @aero3685 let it sit on the stock battery for a while.

 

Stock battery I left it for close to two days I think. But it was cooler out, wouldn't want to try in the Africa heat we've been having lately. I also have vent visors to help the cab from heating up so much, but I may look into other solutions. I would like to put a vent on the roof of the topper, but I'm not cutting a hole in the roof of the truck!

 

I could do that too at first. But not now. Which is fine because I don't really need it in my truck right now. I'll get a larger battery before I need to use it again.

 

@omaguz

Getting around to answering your question...

Yes that should work fine for your use.

 

Thanks @Crom , now I can start researching prices!!!!

 

Sears has Diehard batteries on sale right now for 20% off. I picked up an Advanced Gold size 34 AGM battery today to help power the fridge. Looks to be the exact same as a Deka Intimidator of the same size. My starter battery is only a year old, so I'm going to either make a battery box, or install the battery in the engine bay.

 

For anybody worried about their single battery being able to keep these things running, I have the TB51. I've left the truck running until it got to operating temperature (36*) and then put it in eco mode. I can leave the truck off for 24 hours no problem. The fridge will still be around 36* and the truck will start up just fine. That being said, the longest I've let it run without starting the truck is about 30 hours. Still started just fine.

So, for camping somewhere that the truck will remain in one spot for extended periods of time you may want to just let the truck run every other day or so, or get a second battery to be safe. But if you are going to be driving the truck every day I would not hesitate to let the fridge run on eco mode during your whole trip.

 

@PcBuilder14 what battery do you have?

 

Some Autozone battery that is stick size for my truck. Nothing special at all.

 

Just want to say that my experience with customer service at TF was amazing! Truly good people!

 

I just pulled the trigger on a TF41. This offer is about one half the price of the Engle that I've wanted.

 

Thank you again @TruckFridge for hooking us all up with another group buy. I placed my order last Tuesday and my fridge arrived Friday.

Just finished building a battery pack to run the fridge for extended periods rather than using my truck's stock electrical system. Can't wait to put it to use this weekend!
