Fridge in back seat

[p3ck]

I don't think I've seen anyone else put their fridge in the back seat and power it through the cubby hole that goes into the gear tunnel. I cut a 17"x30" piece of thin plywood to keep it from falling into the storage hole. I originally had it in the bed of the truck but I only have access to 120volt there which is less then ideal.

Is the cord not long enough to reach the 12v plug under the main display?

Probably long enough. Just seemed nicer to send the cord back then to have it dangle in the front cab.

This is my plan for my ARB. I run it in my Ram that way. I may need to remove the seat though.

Good implementation… that’s really the only practical location for most Dometic refrigerators. Their height precludes the bed and frunk.

Nice that you were able to retain the third seat.

One question: With the long side of the rear seat cushion raised, can you still fully recline the front passenger seat without interfering with the raised seat section?

This is exactly the information I have been looking for. How large is your fridge? I have a Dometic CFX40. Thought it might actually fit down in the storage bin, but using a plywood platform is just fine also. I’m also wondering if there is a way to secure it. Don’t want that thing flying all over the place when the going gets rough or worse. Thanks for the info.

Does the passenger side rear seat also fold forward? I believe the current configurations have a sub woofer located there, so there may not be any storage space. However, if it could provide a flat, level surface, for a dog (other than on that nice seat), especially if it is at the same level as the driver’s side.

Could you tell us the length and width of your cooler?

Looks like about 16" wide?

Thanks.....

Probably can't fully recline.. But I have plenty of room and don't have the seat upright.

I have the CFX35.

^ thanks, saw that.. I was just curious about the cooler dimensions.

Great idea BTW!

Ha!! I'm the one that can't read. The cooler is 25" x 16"
