Anyone powering their ARB fridge with the stock cigarette lighter

[Soneill]

The rear cigarette lighter is useless for anything more than a phone charger IMO. If you see those skinny wires running the vehicle's length, it wouldn't surprise you why it can't keep the fridge on

I had trouble running the ARB fridge on it. Installed another cigarette outlet right next to it with proper wiring and now runs the fridge perfectly for days

Same here my Snowmaster wouldn't stay running on the rear outlet so I just hard wired it.

After a year and a half of using a Goal Zero Yeti to run the fridge and having the Yeti recharge off of the rear a/c outlet when driving I just bit the bullet and ran the ARB wiring kit from the battery (always on power source) to the back making a new outlet. Well worth it IMO.

Right on! The ARB 10900027 ARB Fridge Freezer Wiring Kit and ARB Threaded Socket is the only way to go. A cigarette lighter plug in a cigarette lighter socket can vibrate loose.

The fused 10-gauge wire included in the kit is more than adequate to carry the current and an ARB Threaded Plug in an ARB Threaded Socket will never vibrate loose.

This ARB plug is a match for the ARB Threaded Socket.

Also be sure to tie down your fridge securely and safely with front and rear ratchet tie downs.

A cargo cover will keep the sun from heating up your fridge.
