Thread: Fridge location -D4

So where are people mounting their fridges? Anybody removing a rear seat and mount behind driver seat accessing through door?

I've got mine on the driver's side in the cargo area. It's a 60lt Waeco and sits quite high. I've got it on a fridge slide (Engel from a previous vehicle) which I've mounted to a ply base which in turn is strapped down using the cargo hooks.

With this type of arrangement I can side fit longer important items (like golf clubs ) by folding down the rear passenger seat.

I've got a Traxside second battery sitting between the fridge and the rear seat and the whole things is just perfect. Traxside system is grouse!

To access the fridge I open the rear doors and slide her out. I can then easily lift the lid and peer in to see what I want to get out... although over the years I crafted the ability to feel for cold cans with my eyes shut!

For me personally I wouldn't like to access the fridge from the driver's side door(s) because quite often you'd be standing in the street to do this - I reckon this is a tad dangerous. I've always been a backdoor man (oops, might need to rephrase this!) as I reckon it's safer and usually more convenient for those refills from the supermarket while on a trip. The other reason I like the cargo area approach is that you have the fold down door at the rear which acts as a great sorting platform for shopping items prior to loading in the fridge.

I'm a bit busy work wise but I'll take a few pictures and post them soon.
