In general, folks just plug the fridge into a cigarette lighter which I don't have in Blueboy.

so my question is what would be a good way to power a fridge:

1. install a cigarette lighter or a power outlet in Blueboy and use that?
2. use the power from the receptacles in the dash? if this would work, what type of plug can I use? (I kinda remember this was discussed before, yet, I can't find the discussion)
3. another alternative?

thanks alot.

Accessory 12v plugs are cheap and easy to find. I would install one close to where youplan to mount the fridge so that you don't have the fridge wire getting in the way. I would also use a double socket one so that you have a second source of 12v that is always hot so you can charge a cell phone or run a GPS. Like this.

You can use either or hard wire it. Just use a 2 prong accessory plug in the inspection sockets.
