MR040F Engel Fridge

[ProsperJL]

Just ordered one of these, as the price just dropped to $650 on Amazon. Anyone running one currently? If so how is the fit, and did you have to remove handle for install?

I have one... you're probably going to need to be more specific about fit. It really depends how you're doing it. I can give you any measurements you're looking for.

My plan is to install on the driver side. I just got it in— I set it up on the patio to keep drinks cold. I’ll throw it In the Jeep and snap a pic.

The fridge fits on the driver side, but I had to remove the handles. I included photos of fit with and without handles. Testing out the Jackery 500 as well. I’m going to run it down to 20% to see how many hours it will run the fridge. So far, the fridge draws 1 watt when compressor is off and about 40 watts when compressor is running.

Just wrapped up the Jackery test, but cut it short at 32 hours with 24% battery left. I expect it would have gone another 10 hours if I ran it all the way down. This is perfect for a weekend trip without worrying if the fridge will run down the Jeep’s battery. I’ll have to add the solar panel at some point to extend the output further!
