Mounting an ARB fridge?

Postby darkinbog » Tue Feb 28, 2012 1:02 am

I"m looking for ideas on mounting an ARB fridge. I thought about strapping it too the top 0f a cabinet or maybe build a drawer with slides. Thoughts? I ordered the straps from ARB to use as a tie down. :)

Dude

Its got like 4 bolts that go into the feet ....... did you read the manuel ?
you just need to buy longer bolts when the surface is thicker, don't over tighten or your screwed
or you can buy their expensive as hell slide system

I have a 63 quart cooler, it works great but does not cool to the advertised temperatures....
mine is set at 26 deg F and what I put in frozen stays frozen, what I put in unfrozen stays unfrozen.

I'm setting mine (50 quart) on top of a cabinet near the door so I can reach stuff without getting in... Though I'm just mounting my by use of the ARB straps that I bought because I want to be able to take mine out quickly and put it next to my stove/sink/kitchen or in the back of my truck. I plugged mine into the wall so far, and it went right down to 30 with no issues. Still have to test it a little more on DC and to lower temperatures, but I'm super excited about not having to use ice next when we go camping next time. :thumbsup:
