Amazon.com: Cables To Go - 27399 - 6ft Polarized 2-Slot Power Cord: Electronics
This the cord you are looking for? Just cut the 120v end off and wire to a 12V socket...should work fine
That's exactly what I need. Thanks for the link. I haven't had a free second to even look for one locally.

I have come close on mine.. I need to build a bracket to replace the handle so its easier to strap down.

My handle isn't broken but the spring inside it is. It doesn't bother me though. I do need to make some better tie down points though.

Just got off the phone with EdgeStar. They stated that although the cord is considered a "Consumable Item" and not covered under warranty they will replace it "Once". Sounds fair to me.....they are shipping me a new one.

Do you think a heavy gauge wire that is running my compressor in the back of the jeep would be enough to run this fridge?
I've got a 30amp inline fuse near the battery, and could simply run the power cable to a Blue Sea or similar fuse box, that would power both the compressor and the fridge via a 12v twistlock outlet.

This is exactly what I was going to do and I chickened out at the last moment. $10 in wire and I feel much better having it run straight off of the battery.

This fridges use almost no power compared to most accessors. It would be no problem run off the compressor wire.
I plan on buying one soon, I think the best bet would be to buy these connectors.

Run a hard wire to where your fridge will be used and put one of these on the end. Simple 18/16ga wire would be more then enough to go from battery to back of vehicle. Then get a new wire to plug into the fridge and cut the end off and solder the other connector onto the fridge wire. So when the fridge is in the vehicle it will always have a solid connector.

I suspect it has already been posted but I don't have the courage to go through all the 70 pages right now...
