Icebox to 12vdc Fridge
Any thoughts regarding converting my 9cu.ft. ice box to 12v fridge?
Which is the most cost effective , reliable and draws less amperage?
Thanks

Re: icebox to 12v fridge
Welcome to CF
Fitted an
Isotherm
unit a couple of years ago although we were able to use the smaller size.
They are
sold
under a number of different labels or possibly
Isotherm
buy in the units and add their labels.
We did however add to the coolbox
insulation
at the same time.
Might be worth considering the
water
cooled option given your high air temperatures during the day.
