I've been using a small Yeti cooler as I only had my starter battery to power a fridge but now, with a few EcoFlows in the house for power outages, I occurs to me that I could get something to plug the fridge into while stopped for the night. I know nothing about reliability but I do want something compact that will hold things like lunch meats, a little beer, maybe some eggs and cream. Just for me for 1-3 nights. I typically camp in spring and fall.

The rig is not "built" so if there was something that could fit on the passenger seat floor, that might be a good location. I think of the rig as a mobile tent so the second row seats are tumbled forward and I sleep on the floor diagonally or straight if the weather is ok and the tailgate is open. I try to think like a backpacker when I use this rig.

Anyway, I was hoping some of you who have fridges that are small, efficient, reliable, and have some history might offer some advice. I have an open budget but compact size is key. My Yeti is the Roadie and 20L (?) So that's about the size I hope to find. Thanks for any comments, guys.
 
IndelB makes a small 15L and 18L fridge.

Engel makes a few models under 30L as well.

May want to rethink the passenger floor though. It gets pretty warm there if I remember correctly.
 
I have this as my Console in my 80 Series.
It is So Handy we Use it all the Time especially on Trails or Long Trips.
With a DC Converter you can take it inside when you get to Hotel. Has a Shoulder Strap.
Only thing I worry about is it getting Stolen.
Was $300 on Ebay and I sold Old console for $100 so $200 out of Pocket.
It does Output Hot Air on Drivers Thigh, but Not enough to do anything about it.

Dometic Center Console.webp

The Waeco/Dometic Console Fridges are now $500.
FWIW I would toss the Dice on the Vevor.
The stuff I have bought from them has been Decent, but know pre-purchase that if you have Issues they are Disposable.
Then you can see how Console Fridge/Freezer works out before Upgrading.

*I set the Fridge to Freezer Mode to Bring Back Whitefish Fillets from the UP which is an 8 Hour Drive.

Vevor has treated me well a huge fan of the fact the are “disposable” products - use them hard see how they do - when they fail your not hurt or pleasantly surprised

Think I will follow suit on the vevor
