Must/favorite have accessories.

I agree with everyone that the ARB fridge is a must have. I use it all the time especially at home for a dedicated beer fridge. I've been wanting to buy the 73-quart Zero dual zone for extra storage plus having that dedicated freezer space.

Also, I bought a tray that holds on to the center console. Perfect for holding change, phone, wallet etc.

I’ve been trying out an Amazon fridge that was a fraction of the cost and has been awesome. I’m liking it more than my ARB in a sense that it stays colder longer when the Jeep is off.

But yes a fridge in general is a must have! Game changer for sure.

If you don't mind me asking, which one did you end up getting?

Awesome! I appreciate you sharing this. Been meaning to change out the old propane fridges out in Tin Camp with something electric but really need it to be energy efficient. Our ARB works well and thought about just getting them but holy hell, this is a LOT more affordable and if they really work better, that would be a huge bonus!

The new fridges really don’t take hardly any power to run once one. I plugged in two freezers the other day that were already cold and they were drawing like 1 watt.

Awesome. It’s still new to me but so far, no complaints at all.

I have been looking at the SetPower fridges for a while and have only heard good things about them thus far. Pretty cost effective compared to others.

On a 600 watt-hr battery, it stayed powered for about 40 hours without charging the battery.

I have had a SetPower fridge for 3 years now.

There is no reason for fridges to cost much more than the Amazon specials. The compressor is old tech and all are likely sourced from the same manufacturer. Insulation thickness and zones are the only real differences.

I take the fridge out and placed it in the garage last summer. The contents were at 34F when unplugged and after 2 days were 65F in a 90F garage.

I don't know what justification ARB has to charge what they do on these, other than slapping an ARB logo on it.
 
I love my fridge. It is a cheap Edgestar but I have had it for 14 years. When it dies I will probably get an ARB or Dometic though; I don't think I will get away with having a second reliable cheapie fridge. I do know I could never go back to ice for long backcountry trips.
