Hey guys,
A recent PM conversation prompted me to post this for your consideration. We are finishing up the prototype of a fridge-half only system for the 200. Even though we've had plenty of requests for this system, I was hesitant. A few years ago I had quite a few requests for a half system for the 100. I made it and the sales were poor to say the least!
This system had some decent design challenges. You see, the 200 is actually 2.5" narrower between the wheel wells than the 100. This puts the fridge half of our regular Alpha well past the midline of the vehicle. So, for those folks who need to run one of the 3rd row seats we needed to do some magic to get a decent sized fridge to fit.
For the walls and shelf we switched to 1/8" laser cut aluminum plate. We lowered the drawer slides to be nested next to the shallow drawer with some tricky bits. As you will see, both the locking slides for the fridge slide and the shallow drawer are accessed at the shallow drawer level. This allowed us to keep 19.75" of fridge area width, minus some mounting hardware that will protrude into the space.
The shallow drawer will run our newly standard stainless lift-hinge setup. I will post updates as we get further along. I'd love to get your feedback!
