Where to plug ARB Fridge / Freezer

[Pizziola29]

Ok All. Hope it was a great weekend. Finally have my SPOD and Twin ARB Air Compressor installed. Now its time for the ARB Fridge / Freezer. Looking for some guidance. Do I plug into the 115v outlet which ARB says is ok to do, or do I hardwire to my spod? I included the ARB Power and Draw as well as some pics of the final install of the SPOD And ARB Compressor.

Wire it through the 12v because the fridge losses on 12v over 110v are far less than the losses through the inverter. Typical draw I know is under 10A but you'll need to set it high enough to handle the initial compressor kick-on.

Also, gonna need a lot more pics as to how you did what you did back there because I dig it.

Definitely wire it 12V. I also recommend using their socket/wiring kit as it lets you have a screw in connector which seals much better and won't shake lose like the normal 12V sockets will.

Thank you! Here are the pics I have so far of the back. Fabtech rack, ARE Shell, SPOD, ARB dual compressor, and now mounting the fridge. RTT on its way.

Nice setup. Looking like it's not going to fit with the RLD though.

The sides of RLD's cap overhang on the inside a bit so anything that uses the rails and goes upwards isn't going to fit. It's good because it uses a lot of real estate to give it strength but it's not so good that the rails can really only be used at rail level or below.

What brand are the steps you have behind the rear tires? They don’t look like the factory rock sliders
