Got My Fridge Finally

So I finally pulled the trigger. Didn’t go high end but found one with good reviews and features for the price. Alpicool C30. It’s about the perfect size at this stage for me. Testing it in OEM rear 110 outlet today after it was already chilled down and I did notice it didn’t maintain temperature. Seems the 110v outlet only runs 110w when driving. When I parked and activated 400w mode it started cooling right down. Gonna year the 12v outlet next - but will most likely run a dedicated 8ga line to the back.

I'm glad it was resurrected, it's still a timely topic. I'm shopping for a 12v/120 fridge myself now. It'll affect real estate for car camping, but IMO totally worth it.
Anyone concerned about having a fridge with food in it inside their car in bear country? I love Yosemite, but the wildlife there knows where the cookie jar is.

I keep all my food in my car, including in my arb fridge while traveling through heavy bear country. Double locked yeti for the dry goods and the fridge for cold/frozen foods. Haven’t run into an issue yet and that’s spending weeks in the backcountry of WA/ID/MT/WY.

I spent 1 week in Yellowstone and kept the fridge in the 4Runner with no incident. My original plan was to put the fridge in the bear box with a battery pack, but that didn't work out. I was a little concerned at first but I didn't really have any options so I just ran with it.

As far as car camping space, if you choose your fridge size wisely then you should need less space since you don’t need to leave room for ice. For me it has improved space allocation since my ice cooler was larger.

Spent a week in Yosemite and 3 weeks all over the West during the summer with our ARB no issues. We do have the insulating cover and I did throw a blanket over it at night just to obscure the outline.
