Fridge Freezers

[TacoXpo]

After 8-9 years of an absolutely great ARB50, I divided to step up to a Dometic 65DZ. Dual zone and this mother is BIG! I like it but it is if and they didn't do a final QA check on it! Now to go get the truck and fit check.

From what I've read, Dometic builds the ARB Fridges.

Edit: Measured the unit after seeing that it maxed out my slide - something the ARB did not do.

28" Deep x 17.5" Wide x 21.5 High

Called seller and they wanted me to ship it back and they wanted to send me a new one for the mis-matched case. I was thinking, there is no way I wanted to wait a couple of weeks so, I took off the corners and a few screws and lined the case up and it's all good. I was tempted to look at the innards to see if there was some module that I could add to get the wireless cell phone app to work with it! - but I didn't.

Swap direction of the lid:

Look at those well manicured toes!! Hey big boy!!

So what do you mean, they didn't do a final QA check? Is that was little girl is doing?

I like the looks of the new Dometic line up. Any idea on power draw yet?

Look at the center pic near the USB outlet, the plastic case was not assembled properly.

The lid says 4.5 amp. This thing cooled down in less than an hour!!! I'll have to do a test on an 80 degree day.

Oh yeah, I see that now.

Nice! Does your old ARB cover fit on it?

My guess would be not. This is the same fridge I have and they are way bulkier than the 50qt ARBs.

Here's the cover you'll need I'm pretty sure.

The old cover will now fit...





...on Siverback's ARB.

 

[TacoXpo]

And BTW I don't think the mfgs numbers are correct. This thing look much bigger.

Going to swap mine around once it is setup on the slide out.

I have no idea who was BSing who... that fridge is WAY bigger than the ARB. I will measure now.

So what do you think of the new fridge so far?

 

[TacoXpo]

LOVE it. I'm looking forward to enjoying some super fattening ice cream on my next trip!

Anyone know where I can get some tabs that have a .25-.50" hole and a 1" slot. I want to put some tabs in the back seat area to strap down my fridge and boxes I put in the back seat area. I have 4 from my ARB tie downs but I would like to sell that with the ARB slide. Any ideas?

I have several tracks of this in the bed. Really like it.
