Since you're going with a topper have you looked into these from Costco? They're pretty cheap compared to the others. It's what I've been looking at for awhile now considering I'm not sure how often I'd used it.
Good to know. Should fit under a topper shell though.
Holy hell, that's cheap!! I may have to look into this thing a bit to see if it'll kill a battery if left on.
Yeah they are cheap and they even have a couple new ones which are a smart version with one that is over 100qts and is controlled by your phone. That one is $769. Still cheaper than an ARBHoly hell, that's cheap!! I may have to look into this thing a bit to see if it'll kill a battery if left on.
EDIT - I see that it does protect a battery
Hmm. Not sure. Do you mean the 110 in the bed? Or is it something else?Did you order with the factory power hook ups? I did and for that reason will be installing the ARB power hookup on the opposite side.
Does anyone know if the ARB plug/wire kit is long enough to reach the back of the bed?
And at first I was like WTF they arnt that tall. But I forgot you installed a deck back there.
That's good to know. Been meaning to hardwire my ARB as well for a while now.
I ran 4 gauge from the battery to an aftermarket inverter behind the rear seat. Then I ran my ARB fridge wiring from the inverter to the back of the bed.
Black wire on the ground is the ARB kit. It should be long enough to drop from the battery, snake inside the frame, and come up to the passenger’s side. I don’t think there is enough extra to get to the driver’s side.
Dometic makes great fridges. If I had a need for a new fridge, I'd be giving it a harder look.
How do you plan to secure your fridge to the Deck?
Thanks Eddie i been looking into that model for some time now overall reviews are good so i may as well pull the trigger
I thought about buying one when I got my second arb, only thing I don’t like is the way it opens. If you have it on the driver side rear seat it’s perfect but in the back I feel like it would be a pain to get to. Especially on a Tuffy deck or similar.
Yup, this is true. Being that I always carry my fridge on the driver side of Moby and Jet, it wouldn't be a problem. But if I didn't, I could see how it would be a pain.
Still looking at options but I’m considering a slide that then angles onto the bed.
I've got a couple of Dometic, CFX 40W & CC40, the CC40 is smaller and great for keeping things cold.
Dometic uses the same hardwire kit as ARB, the Dometic specific one has 2-12v plugs, screw-in type same as ARB and regular 12v lighter typeThanks. If its a bother don't sweat it. I thought that's how it worked but wasn't sure.
Hmmm. So the ARB uses a dedicated plug with heavy gauge wires run straight to the battery but the Dometic uses a plain ole cigarette lighter?If Dometic does in fact make the fridges for ARB, and I don't know that for a fact but it would make sense, wonder why the difference?
