Seems to have good reviews here. Course with it being scAmazon, they could all be bots.

Dometic is a solid brand, one of the higher ones in the fridge market…had a domestic 12v fridge on my last camper. I wouldn’t hesitate to get one, it’s just too small for how I use it.

i just bought a 50qt bougerv fridge…decent reviews but half the cost probably for a reason, lol. They also make a console fridge

I downloaded the installation guide shown in the link...pretty damned impressive. Very thorough instructions, clear and easy to understand. Only a 5.6 amp draw, too...pretty amazing.

I would just get a 12V cooler so you don't lose/ruin your console. You can get one with as much space as that one for probably less than half the price and just put it in the floor. I got a 55 quart Stakol for $230 plus the three year warranty last year. It runs off a cigarette adapter or supplied 120v-to-12v power supply. Only uses 60 watts on max and 45 on eco, will cool down to -4 degrees. Wired up a cigarette lighter socket in the bed of my truck if I want to put it back there but primarily use it at the lake with a deep cycle battery, and use the adapter in the camper as my wife likes to keep her sodas in it when we bring it back from the boat. There's really only like two places that make them, they just rebrand. My review is the one that says "most helpful positive review".

There is a set of Inserts for the fridge for these. The fridge is great for long road trips, but when not in use, the Inserts allow for storage so you don't lose all that available space.

Video of it:

Hey @Mackey , DM Me, I just redesigned the Bottom Tray and Risers so it's 3 Pieces now, not just one. More modular, and if you break a riser easy to print & replace. I'll be updating the 3D Model Repositories with the new version of the Bottom tray and supports. Also created a v2 of the Middle container and Lid (these have already been added as V2 options in the model databases).
