Definitely like the way your fridge sits, and looking forward to see how all the rest goes together. Still debating on removing the carpet in the rear before building the raised floor.
This is the CFX-65DZUS. It's the smallest I could find that had the ability to work as a fridge and freezer together. They made one called the CF-50DZ, but I couldn't find it available here in the states any more.
Pretty nice quality on these fridges. It took 2 hours to go from 82*F to 9*F in a 97*F garage.
I did a quick search of your posts (so your pardon please if I have missed it) but I see no mention of additional battery capacity? Now this is not a crisis, because careful use and monitoring with a new OEM battery will be Ok for light occasional use - for awhile, and I speak from 8 months of doing just that - but it is hard on battery life and needs a backup plan. All the time I used my Engel fridge this way, I also travelled with a AntiGravity Micro-Start... and I never left the fridge turned on for long when not actually camping or traveling.
I use my fridge much more heavily now, but then, I have a MasterVolt 160Ah marine AGM powering it, as previously described. In my research, I could never get that much capacity under the hood (edit: from the single aux battery. In my setup, the starter battery is another 97Ah, for a total of 257Ah). The heavy battery is housed very low, on the floor just forward of fridge, behind the front passenger seat. For safety, and although it is a type of battery that will never outgas in normal use and charging, it is hydrogen-vented.
