ARB fridge fit?
Anyone know if the ARB fridge/freezer will fit behind the back seat on a 2 door? I've got the measurements for the fridge from Northridge (thanks!), but using the tape measure, it looks like it's going to be a bit to big to fit. Anyone have a fridge/freezer that fits?

Holy crap! That thing is close to 800 bucks!
It looks totally cool but man, they build some damn nice coolers for well under $200 that'll keep stuff cold for up to a week.

I'm about to buy a small vintage 13' travel trailer for a 3 week long road trip across the US. Insted of spending $700 on a duel fuel (propane/AC/DC) fridge that would be built into the camper, I'm toying with the ARB. It will keep the food cool like a fridge and won't need propane to do it.

There's a good 12v fridge thread here https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stock-jk-tech-12/stock-battery-portable-fridge-coolers-114743/
I bought an Engel 15 Qt Portable Fridge/Freezer ENG MD14F today, $480 inc shipping and the TSL mounting plate. I preferred the new ARB but it was almost double the price.
It should fit and strapdown on the Bestop cargo rack I have mounted between the rear seats and rear window. With the fridge pushed to one side, I should still have some rearview sight.

Not sure how much bigger the Edgestar fp430 is compared to the ARB. They are roughly the same Quart size though. My edgstar was in the $430 range. I've had the edgestar fridge for about a year now and it's running great. The only downside the edgestar has over the ARB is aftermarket support. There are no slides, hold down kits, thermo covers etc.
Check out compactappliance.com for a deal on them.
edit: My fridge mesures almost 18 inches wide, 25" long and just over 20" high.
