I think I need a bigger truck!
Good deal. I really like these fridges, I have only seen a couple of them in person, but they are very slick for the price. Still very stoked on the Dometic I scored otherwise I would have dropped the $ for one myself. So very impressed with the refrigeration system in use in these fridges (Dan Foss swing motor). In the field, in crazy heat (120*) it was freezing our food on a med setting and we were able to keep the single deep cycle at 12.0 + amps with 2 x 40 Watt Solar Panels. Efficient and useful, great combo.

Here is my BRAND NEW Edgestar 60QT mounted in my Tundra!
Fits perfectly in my custom made unit.
Went through a ton of trouble building this setup, and now that its all set up i am having the low voltage cutoff issues everyone is talking about, on a BRAND NEW unit! Arggg
Contemplating replacing it with an Engel rather than messing with the circuitry! Not impressed with the unit!

Wow, shipping was fast and free delivery for $324.00 , 63 open box.
Looks brand new :
not dent or scratch could be seen.
I plugged it in , just in time to keep the beer cold for the holidays in the garage.

Nice! Congrats! I'm thinking that open box is less of a risk than the S&D.

Just noticed another 63 on OBD so I ordered it up. $300. Hopefully nobody else beat me to it... Looking forward to having a small chest freezer to supplement the single door fridge/freezer in our 5th wheel "home". And it'll get used camping too, when we take the RTT instead of the TC. 
Fingers crossed...

This seems like a good deal:

No affiliation, just local to me. Not a top loading style, but might be nice in a camping rig.

Those draw close to 8 amps and will likely kill a battery or two in a day.

Just ordered a 43 quart from open box direct for $319.00 shipped, got an email that said it would arrive by next Monday, fingers crossed. Went back to look at OBD and they had the notify me when available tab up, so I must have some good luck right now, first time I've looked in months. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket!
*Edit: Just looked again to satisfy my curiosity, they're available!

Really wish I could justify needing one of these....

Koldfront is an Edgestar. $216.45 (minus 10%?) seems real cheap....
