So I'm in the market for a fridge. I used a Canyon Cooler 55qt and it served me very well on my two week cross-country trip from Florida to Colorado last summer, but I think a fridge would have made like a lot easier. The way I see it, this is a buy once, cry once kind of purchase, so I want to make sure I spend my money correctly because these things aren't cheap.
Amazon sells the Dometic 50qt for $640.00 and I can pick up an ARB 50qt for $820.00.
Unfortunately I don't see any cool "buy a fridge and get _____" free deals going right now, but having a fridge in Florida during the spring/summer months would be really nice. Of the two refrigerators, I'm leaning towards the ARB. They have a reputation for building, or at least putting their name, on very quality parts that will last. Is there any reason I should go with something different like the Dometic, or should I just stick with the ARB?
Just in case any FJ owners pop into this thread, I'm planning to mount this sideways in the passenger side of the back seat. Anyone have one mounted there and have pictures? The plan is to remove the seat bottom and make a simple wood platform for it.
