For anyone still looking for a fridge, I just found an awesome deal on the Scratch/Dent Edgestars. I just ordered a 63Q for $350 shipped to my door. They also have one left of the 43Q for only $313 shipped!

The link to the 43Q is HERE. If you want the 63Q, they're not on the website yet. If you want one reply here or PM me for the contact information.

That's a great deal. I got the 37 QT and it's pretty large. The 63 must take up the whole cargo area.

I was concerned about that but it's the same width and height as the 43Q, just 4" longer. Since the two areas I'll be using it in can accommodate the extra 4" (my boat and the back of the cruiser) and since I have a family of 4 I opted for the larger unit for the extra $37. I initially ordered the 43q but called and had them swap me to the larger unit.

Gave up on this and the edgestar. Ordered the 47qt ARB before Amazon starts charging sales tax on the 15th in CA.

$ 785 ..?

You didn't see the one I post here was selling up on eBay for less than 600 bucks and was new ! ( was too late for me .. )

I saw it but those are very hard to win and quickly approach the new price. Once it gets within $150, I'd rather get the free 2nd day shipping and easy return service of amazon.

Got my scratch n dent 63q today. turned it on at 3 pm and loaded it with room temp beer and soda for a party tomorrow. Set it on FF and by 9 pm it was at 37 degrees (via thermometer on the upper shelf, the built in gauge said 32 at the time.) Enjoyed a frosty XX before making this post. So far so good.

Build quality is much better than I anticipated and the thing looks brand new minus a small scuff on one corner. For 350 to my door I'm thrilled. Also, I am very happy I got the 63. A 43 would have been too small for a family of 4, imo. I still think the truckfridge is the best bang for the buck for a Danfoss compressor, but for $200 less I am very happy so far.

Got my 47qt ARB today. The wife isn't happy about it but maybe she will be when we have cold sweet tea in the middle of the mojave.

Plugged it in at my desk at work. Within an hour it was down to freezing. Need to build the drawers and slide for it to get it into the truck. Wish it was $350 instead of $750. But FL guy never came through and Amazon starts charging sales tax in CA today. So I pulled the trigger on the new ARB.
 
Looks like TJM debuted their new fridge at the Sand Sports Super Show this past weekend as they posted an obscure image on their facebook page:

Link is up for the Scratch and Dent 63Q Edgestar now. Click HERE. If you call them directly and ask for Blake he'll do it for $350 shipped.

Womp womp. Wish I'd waited. But I'm happy with the ARB. Might need the transit cover after all. It seems to get scratched easily.

I'm wondering the same .. still not sure, they are not cheap ..
 
I just picked up a used Engel (nor cold) 43Q fridge/freezer off expedition portal. It has the cig lighter plug and a regular wall plug, either one. I can say that i'm super impressed already. I plugged it in on a 15 minute ride from my house to my aunt's house for a cookout and had to bring some slaw and beer. It was almost icy on the inside of the fridge when i got to the house in just about 15 minutes! Next weekend will be it's full weekend test so i'll see then just how well it does.
 
Easy question for you guys ..

ARB 50qts states for 5.1 amp draw .. I'm gonna wire it with Anderson connectors using AWG #8 and about 10ft long from my engine bay 2nd battery fuxe box .. AWG#8 it's rated 25amps .. by all my readings looks like I'm Ok .?

Also have AWG #4 but seems to be real overkill ..
