[@heatherm4276]

wow thank you, this is the best and fastest explanation I have found. This earned you a new subscriber! and btw, nice carpentry!

[@soapynorton]

Thanks Heather! Let me know if you have any questions with this. It’s been installed and used for over a year now and have been loving it.

[@laurabrumfield8128]

Would love to see how it looked with the rest of the cabinetry finished around it. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@seanallison8850]

Thank you brother 👍👏

[@angelrivera3308]

By any chance, if you still replies to these, can you link where you ordered the fridge! 😭it's perfect, i want a side by side fridge in my build so bad AND I REFUSE to buy a chest style one

[@brucemontgomery8136]

any idea how to get the supplied bulb and a small spring to make interior light work?_ the contacts on the bulb light the bulb but it’s not lined up and then there is a spring in fridge that maybe goes to keep bulb in place w on / off small plastic road

[@bigtomsvan4817]

Very Nice! I have an 85l same as yours. not installed yet. im wondering how cold it gets? i currently have a whynter chest style i set at 36 F keeps drinks about 39 F and no problems with food storage. have you made ice in the freezer? thanks. Best fridge install yet!

[@soapynorton]

Hey there - I haven’t tested temperatures yet, but I have been storing food in there and it’s cold enough on level 1 of 7 (7 being the coldest). I haven’t frozen anything yet, but some ice had formed in the freezer on that level 1 of 7 setting.

I am looking at a 130 for my build. Have you been happy with the quality of the fridge? If not would you have purchased a different brand or model?

[@soapynorton]

Yep, the fridge has been great. The capacity is perfect and would not choose to go any bigger or smaller. I did add an auxiliary fan over a year ago that runs continuously, moving air past the condenser to add to its efficiency. Was not necessary, but just helps it cycle less. The fridge is one of our top choices in the whole van travel experience. Recommended!

[@ermanakbay]

How're you liking 130 size? Is it to big? I'm thinking of the same one but a bit concerned that it might be too much. Especially depth

[@wes6304]

Looks great. Can you mount that fridge without the flange? Thanks

[@soapynorton]

Hey Wes. Yes, you can unscrew all the flange pieces and just use the interior mounting positions, but the main way to secure the fridge (on this particular model) is with the flange mounting points.

[@wes6304]

@@soapynorton okay great thanks so much for the info. I wasn’t able to find anything online about it. Thanks!

[@poolcow2629]

First! Liked, subbed, favorited. Wombats. Warthogs. Could this integrate w/ your previous snorkel mod?

[@soapynorton]

Thanks Nik. I’d say you could absolutely work a ram air intake into this fridge to get it running with 120-140% efficiency.

[@johnpuccetti6019]

WILL THAT FRIDGE RUN ON ac?

[@soapynorton]

Hey John, I ordered this fridge DC ONLY, but it’s available in a AC/DC configuration as well.
