Fridge install ideas. (Easy to remove/install) (1 Viewer)

[OvrLandCruiser]

Hi folks,
I have a 200 Series which is my everyday driver. I have kids and dogs so keeping the fridge and/or a drawer system isn't in the cards for me currently as I need my 3rd row of seats pretty often.

I am hoping someone can suggest or show me a solution to mount the fridge slide to either an easy to remove drawer system or simply a plywood deck. setup for an easy to drop in. I live in Southern California so I would like to have some type of wood deck to mount to. Ultimately, I am hoping to easily remove everything on Sunday night so I'm ready to hit the school carpool om Monday.....

Thanks in advance!

I set my ARB elements on the passenger side rear, right on the cargo mat. I made a small pelican case with my solar charge controller, a volt gauge, a cigarette outlet, 2 usb outlets, and a fridge outlet. Then I ran some nice power wire from the battery to the back, terminated with an Anderson plug.

When I want a fridge, I plug in this box and then plug in my fridge. When I use the solar I plug it into the box. When I am commuting, I just unplug it all and tuck the wiring back under the trim in back.

Would you prefer to buy something or DIY? Goose Gear has a platform you can buy. People here have built homemade versions of the same. Some drawer systems are fairly easy to remove - the Reef boxes in my rig are pretty easy to take out.

If you have some time, I'd love to see some pics of your setup!

Likely looking to buy a drawer system as I don't have the werewithall to build one. I'm just mechanically inclined enough to cut some 5/8 plywood to shape and mount something to that...... (maybe) lol

Most inportantly I need it to be easy to install and remove.

I found a fridge that fits behind the deployed third row. There are a couple that will fit. This, in conjunction with a small ‘solar generator’ is good for two plus days of not driving, and unlimited as long as you drive four hours a day to recharge the battery.

We went to the Table Mountain area, between Wenatchee and Ellensburg. This area had been in a fire 3 or 4 years ago, and most of our driving was the result of looking for an unburnt area with a creek to set up camp at. In the end we couldn't improve on the location and conveniences of the Haney...

Well, I spent some time looking through Youtube and I think I found the solution I was looking for.

I went the home made route.

Allows me to remove the Fridge inside of a couple minutes or keep it in place while still utilizing one side of the 3rd row seating. As I am sure may others have done, I secured the slide to two of the four large floor anchor points with U-bolts and mounted the National Luna Weekender 50L to their base plate.

I think mounting a fridge slide to the 3rd row seat anchors and using a power station like the Goal Zero Yeti 200X / 500X or Jackery Explorer 300 is about as easy as you can get.

The Engel mounting plate is NOT a slide. I positioned the color so it would open up inside the LC.. the plate allows you to push a button and remove the fridge very easy.. the 3/4 wood base is what you see under the fridge+plate. I cut the holes and slot so the right 3rd row could become a seat without removing anything..

Transit Slide Lock

Transit Slide Locks are highly recommended from a safety point of view. They help prevent your Engel fridge/freezer from shifting around in a vehicle or boat. Securely attach your transit slide lock to the vehicle and then simply slide your Engel into position and it locks down automatically. To...
