Still running great. Haven't turned it off since September 14 have it set at 36 degrees and only drive 1 1/2 miles a day during the week battery hasent run down yet.

I have the weber Q220 I guess its on the big size but we make it fit. We like it so much we have started using it at the house instead of the really expensive full size grill we have!

Took the fridge on a 4 day hunt stayed at 33 degrees the whole time with maybe 15 min of driving each day. Outside temps were in the high 90's. Even cooled down a hot 30 pack of drinks within an hour. Bad ground wire was the fix.

Ok I got it figured out or at least fixed! There must have been a cut or kink in the negative wire somewhere. I ran a new negative wire same spot same everything and bingo I can now hear the pur of a compressor :wings:. The fridge was 33 this morning when I left for work. On a side note must...

Well I would but there are a lot of fishing and hunting trips where I ride in other peoples trucks and I would like to be able to take it.

I have a charger but its on my trailer which is in the shop right now so no access to it. Im still using the edgestar cord ran the wire to a 12v socket the digital readout shows green but the compressor only kicks on for 2 or 3 seconds. I have someone else coming over tonight we are going to...

No I did not check the battery. I did install it and let the truck run for aprox. 30 min's. I wired the socket with 10 guage wire directly to the battery positive, negative is 14 guage grounded where my offroad lights are. I just checked its not keeping the temp it was at 34 at 7:45am now at...

UPDATE Optima replaced the 1 year old yellow top no problems and I installed it last night. Had the fridge on a/c all night set at 34. This morning I unpluged the a/c and let it switch to d/c the plug was reading 12.9 as soon as the fridge switched on it went to 10.3 not good. Left it...

Well I ran 10 guage wire directly to the fused socket so I don't think it's the wire. I called optima they said I needed a yellow top with more cranking amps??? I know it ran fine in my freinds 07 Tacoma with stock battery. I did test it in my f250 with dual batteries and it shut off when not...

Yes Im finding this out 2nd one in a year to go bad my diehard lasted 5 years.

Yea I just checked it when the compressor kicks on it drops to 10.4v its only a 6 month old yellow top.

Well Im sad to say Im having troubles with mine again. It dose fine on a/c and does fine when the truck is running but as soon as I shut the truck off the fridge stops. I pluged it in a/c last night with aprox 24 water bottles in it took it down to 24 degrees. This morning put it in the truck...

I have the safari on my 1995 80 series landcruiser. I try to stay away from deep water. But I go to a lot of dusty places and the higher intake helps esspecially if you get the pre filter. All that being said my snorkle has saved my truck twice now in deep water I didn't really want to be in...

I just got back from a 11 day trip though the passes and backroads of Colorado I have the 63q and it stayed in the low 30s no problems the whole trip!

Ok took the 63q with us on a hog hunting trip. Had it in the truck for 3 100 degree+ days and a bunch of rough roads. Set it at 32 it would climb to 34 then go to 30 which was perfect for our cold drinks. I even added a hot 12pack to see what effect it would have. They were cold and drinkable...
