I removed the driver's side cabinet on my Peterbilt 387 and installed a dorm sized fridge I bought from one of my subs for $50. Built a frame around it and I have a butcher block table 38" x 20" that I use for office work, meal prep and eating. I sit on the bed and the table is over my knees. With the fridge on the driver's side, I can get a midnight snack or drink while laying in bed due to the door hinges being towards the front of the truck.

[@TruckinwithTBone]

Sounds awesome. I can switch the hinges on it if need be, but this has always worked and I'm home about every weekend so no need to go too crazy...well, yet..lol

[@2020HotShotTruckingLLC]

@@TruckinwithTBone I also use a soft bungee to hold the door closed when I'm driving - just in case. These fridges are much cheaper than the 12V RV or truck ones too.

[@TruckinwithTBone]

@@2020HotShotTruckingLLC I outfitted it with baby safety latches for that 😂

@wheelburner you need to watch this

[@wheelburnerexpress]

I just did. I need that desperately

[@StephenPaul1160]

There's a more simple design available now that makes this retrofit even easier. You just need - Base Panel 18-74099-000 - QTY 1.0 and Nut-Plate 23-13332-002 - QTY 2.0 - It replaces A18-69455-000, A18-69256-000, 18-69410-000. The rest of the parts listed in the description such as the straps, backsplash panel, etc. still need to be ordered. Not sure what the cost difference will be, but if anyone is looking to do this retrofit they should get a quote on the new base panel as it basically turns 3 parts into 1.

[@TruckingandCars]

Nice video, how do you record? I see your camera is connected to your phone. Would like that setup to make content 😎

[@najygara602]

where did you buy the straps, im looking for similar ones

[@TruckinwithTBone]

@@najygara602 it all came from the freightliner dealership.

[@ronnieguerra4998]

Can you please give me the part number for the 110 plug from the original C plug adapter the one that goes in the insert

[@TruckinwithTBone]

I would if I had it. I’ll see if I can find it again, if so I’ll pass it along.

[@smol_yote]

I put a 4.4 cubic foot fridge in mine with the freezer cause I had it from high school. It hits the microwave mount but it’s snug. I had to figure out my own strap mounts because my company had the plate reinstalled without any straps. I’m glad I could make it work

[@TruckinwithTBone]

A friend of mine did that. Thing looks huge in there. 😂

[@smol_yote]

@@TruckinwithTBone for sure, I wasn’t gonna buy another fridge so I made it work. Definitely worth it. I bought one of those latches to help the door stay closed because a right turn while full of food would fly the door open

[@michaelpierre208]

Where can I buy the whole setup for the fridge

[@MFT069]

It’s never a true project until you have to make one or two unscheduled trips to the hardware store

[@TruckinwithTBone]

That’s no lie. Then had to make another trip for the baby latches to keep it from flying open. 😂

[@MFT069]

@@TruckinwithTBone baby latches are required equipment for any freightliner!!

Hi sir, what is the mounting kit at the bottom? Can you put the link for it? Thanks

I’ve had that question a lot. I plan on making a video with all the part numbers for it.

[@hadimoallem5566]

Hi where did you order your part because exactly what I need

[@TruckinwithTBone]

The parts came from Freightliner. I made another video with the parts list which I’ve linked below. The parts should also be in the description of this video. The complete Parts list to Transform Your Cascadia Fridge! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXapgoawe8ybppo

Hello, could you please tell me where and how you ordered the lower metal mount for the refrigerator?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

I recently posted a new video reqarding this very thing. You can check out the video here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXapgoawe8ybppo

[@MoJackson-n1t]

Do you leave your inverter on all the time and do you have issues with the batteries draining?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

@@MoJackson-n1t I do leave the inverter on all the time, unless I am home and empty the fridge. It would eventually drain the batteries if I didn’t. The apu charges the batteries if they get too low.

[@MoJackson-n1t]

Thanks appreciate the reply

[@roshabo]

How much did you pay for all the parts needed?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

You would have to get a quote from the dealer as prices can vary but I think I had about $300 into it.

[@wheelburnerexpress]

Hey bro can you please put a link to where you got this kit from. also give us an update on how much power that fridge draws on the batteries. I'm a little concerned that the fridge will kill my batteries while I'm parked overnight

[@TruckinwithTBone]

Will Do

[@ricksmith6657]

I have the same cabinet in my 2019 Cascadia wondering if I could do the same thing don’t know where I’d get that floor plate and things though ?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

I’m sure you could. I got the panel and straps etc. from the dealership. I think you can get them at raneys as well.

How does it do when the ambient air is 90 plus degrees?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

Well, I don’t usually let it get that warm in the truck. 😂 I haven’t had any issues but generally (not always) empty it out and shut it off on home time.

Great Video sir Thank you, I wanna do the same on my freightliner cascadia 2020. Where do I order all these things from ? The base plates, bolts and a hisense fridge ?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

Most of it I got from the freightliner dealership. Some (bolts) were already there for the cabinet. I’ve had a lot of questions so I will be doing a follow up video with parts list etc. thanks for watching.

[@quincyfletcher5879]

I been lookin for something like this i changed my fridge out for a 3.5 cubic feet fridge and it make a lot of noise moving around

[@Wazlonestar]

Is there a desk to do paperwork or to eat in that truck once you took out the original wit the big fridge ?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

The original only had a drawer and an opening for a fridge. The top had edges that would have made it difficult to use as a table or desk. To answer your question, there is a pull out table/desk on the opposite side.

[@bigjaquess8219]

I'm trying to figure out how big does my inverter need to be to run that refrigerator

[@TruckinwithTBone]

I have a factory 1800 watt inverter that connects to the batteries similar to what you see in the truck stops.

[@dhillonvideoniagarafalls]

Good morning sir, where I can get this refrigerator, and is this 12 volt ? Thanks

[@TruckinwithTBone]

You can get it at Lowe’s. It’s a standard plug that plugs into an inverter.

[@dhillonvideoniagarafalls]

Thanks

Link for the mounting kit ?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

Yes. I got it from the dealer. The fridge came from Lowe’s.

[@jamesrangel8223]

That's nice man.What size t v you got there next to the microwave? Also what size inverter do you have to power that Refrigerator? When I go to bed at night, And turn the truck offwill the inverter drain my truck battery?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

It’s the factory inverter but I can’t remember if it’s a 1500w or 1800 off the top of my head. If the batteries are good, it shouldn’t drain just while sleeping on your break.

[@peakinb4382]

What is the freightliner part number for the bracket?

[@TruckinwithTBone]

I’ll have to get it for you at a later date. I have the paperwork at home. Been meaning to do a video about the parts list.

[@peakinb4382]

I called Nashville and they had no idea. I assumed it was a fridge mount and so did they but we couldn’t figure nothing out

Yea I called them also no clue

[@beardsinthewind5762]

We don't need a video. Most content creators put the links and part numbers in the description. Also calling me big fella means you're calling me fat. Us truckers are sensitive about our appearance.

Like stated before, I’ve been crazy busy so I don’t give the channel as much time as needed some times. I know you understand, having your own channel how time consuming it can be.
