    I have the same ARB purchased in 2012 and now pressed into full time duty as I'm living in the back of my 2012 Tacoma. I put the optional thermal blanket on it for added insulation and protection. When I'm not plugged into shore power, I'm plugged into a portable battery bank similar to a Jackery. I never have to worry about draining the truck battery. It sips the juice anyway... Great fridge!

    My arb ran 6 years straight in my work trucks before retiring to recreational use 18 months ago. Running in my jeep right now. I broke the latch a couple times and ARB just sent me new ones no charge.

    • @OverlandFlorida

      Thanks for the added review. It's a great product and they truly last a long time. Even in harsh conditions.

    Nice, I also have a ARB 50 litre fridge. I bought it in 2011, I use it 300 days a year at 27 degrees. My 12 Volt plug melted a few years ago, Amazon search got me a better plug and solved that problem, mine gets beat to deaf in a truck but it still keeps drinks ice cold.

    • @OverlandFlorida

    Get a little contact cement to glue that ARB sticker back on. Mine fell off within a few months. No big deal if it does, just looks better.

    After less than three years of only occasional mild use, the Secop compressor motor in mine has come loose from its moorings inside its containment tank, and is banging around loudly with every road bump. I'm waiting now (June '21) to hear if ARB will replace it, as it is still under warranty. 🤞

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  3 года назад +1

      Dang, mines way out of warranty. Hopefully yours gets fixed.

    • @bywayz
      @bywayz 3 года назад +1

      ARB replaced it with a new one after I submitted the easy online warranty claim form and included a video/audio of the issue. They included a return-shipping label for the original fridge as well. The no-fuss process was easy. As for the compressor they continue to use ... Well, we'll see ...

  • @johnmcdougald1238

    Nice review. I've thought about those but didn't know if the cost was justified. Knowing how bad we have it in the area, and how well it lasted out in the environment, it's well worth the price. BTW, Will you be going to the Overland Florida Cars& Coffee event on November 7th at Lakeland Linder? edit..... Actually, Never mind. I see you're the one hosting it........

    • @OverlandFlorida

      It's a great refrigerator. I actually live across the street from the airport. I'll definitely be there.

  • @GATORADDAM

    Hopefully my Dometic lasts as long. I'd almost be willing to bet that the scroll compressors and electronics are sourced from the same manufacturers though.

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  4 года назад +1

      Oh for sure. Dometic is a great brand. I'm sure the compressors are pretty similar, of not the same.

    Can anyone help with this technical question?
    I have a 60L ARB fridge, I've had it for 8 years and love it. I have a question that I cannot find an answer to. It has to do with the LEDs on the control panel. Red means a low battery or a fault, green means the compressor is on, and yellow means fridge has reached the desired temperature, but what is happening when there are NO LEDs on? (just the digital temp display). TIA!

    Do you have a deep cycle battery? I’m looking to get a fridge and curious if factory battery will run it.

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  3 года назад +1

      Yes a factory battery will run it. But if you plan on running it for hours, get a deep cycle battery.

  • @OffRoadOverlandCamping

    Great video, I have the same frig for 4 years. Question, have you had any issues with cooling? I notice on mine, the first day of on a camping trip, I set the temp at 34 degrees. Then starting day 2, the temp start increasing to 36 to 40 degrees and is constantly running to say cool. It never shuts off. I have the frig hardwired to my battery. I've tried increasing my temp to 36 degrees too. Sometime I have to shut off the frig for about 20 minutes, then turn back on and suddenly its working perfect again.

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  4 года назад

      No issues. Maybe sure all the vents are clear on the fridge. Don't have anything resting against it blocking the air.

      It's ok. The lid latch is the cheapest part. It's been set at 23° for 3 weeks and I still can't get water to freeze.
