Hello ckent323
That’s gunna be ruff even empty. If you leave in back say on passenger side the business end will be close to the door. Behind driver side would need to take care not to cover air circulation. Removing when loaded fugettaboutit.
Good equipment I think.

Sunday turned the TF on. Monday loaded it up with food. Nothing in the freezer is frozen. Cold but not even close to freezing. Turned it from a 3 where I've ran it for years to a five and didn't notice any improvement. Rest of fridge is the same. Cold but not really cold. Unfortunately my fridge thermometer is missing. I'll pick up another later today. Not sure if its running continuously but I haven't seen it not running yet when I"ve checked it. 

 

Camper is plugged in so its seeing 13.6 volts. Its always seemed like an energy hog even after doing the smart upgrade. I like the convenience of a front loader though.

Hey Craig, are you talking about a TruckFridge?

I got my Engel Fridge/Freezer the other day and in reading the instructions it says to operate it at regular intervals if being stored and suggests that you use it as a second freezer or fridge during those periods.  It sounds like they're saying that running it 24/7 is preferred.

Well its dead now. It'll be a icebox this weekend. Probably just a freon leak since the compressor runs. Hopefully a refer repair person can fix it up.

Just checked the Engels link and the price has gone back up to $849.99.  I'm sure that they'll be back on sale again, but this one is over.

I’m glad I jumped at it, I’m still trying to figure out the power usage/ battery life part
