    Power to a ARB fridge

    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.
