Fridge in your jeep
Who is running a refrigerator in their Jeep. What do you have and how does it work for you?
Are they reliable long term with all the bouncing around?

I just ordered a 28 quart one from Igloo off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Igloo-Iceless...ler&th=1&psc=1
For $64 for Prime members, if it sucks, I'll send it back.
I don't do enough long distance travel, nor do I have the space, to justify $800 for an ARB.

ARB for about 14 years without issues as long as 4 days. I have always had 2 AMG batteries either Sears Platinum or Hawker Odyssey.
I use them with a Good Samaritan Dual Battery System, now sold by Painless.

Dometic 61L dual zone fridge freezer on Amazon. Works awesome and has been on over 4k miles of overlanding trips in the last 2.5 years with no issues.

I own the Smittybilt 52 qt cooler.
I don't offroad as much as I'd like but it does a fantastic job keeping things cool while I'm out. Very low power draw and comparable to the ARB by about $200 bucks. Just strap it down and you should have no problems.

How do these do in hotter temps? Here in socal it can get 100+ in the summer and all the units I see only cool to 30-40 below outside temp. which means drinks only get to 60*-70*.

Thermoelectric ones are cheap (under $100) and will keep things cooler than ambient temp by 10-30 degrees. Not worth it in my opinion (just use ice for the day)
True fridge freezers like Dometic, ARB, and Whynter are going to cost $500+ but will keep items as low as -15 below zero no matter what the temp outside is.
