I intend to invest in the 12V cooler/fridge units, probably a Whynter and have a couple of questions for y'all.
According to the Whynter website it requires specific spacing all the way around and is not meant to be enclosed.
I notice several of you talk of having added insulation around the unit which obviously means you've 'enclosed' it.
How are you handling exhausting the heat from it and the air intake?
Does it make a noticeable difference in reducing the power costs when insulating it.
Did you leave it open to the interior of the vehicle on the front only or put it in a complete cabinet/box whatever.
I'm getting near the stage of building all the cabinets and have to start figuring out exact size dimensions of the space to be left for the fridge. It won't actually be in place until the fall unless the price of the Cdn dollar drops drastically...no cross border shopping trips for me right now...
I'm also getting way ahead of things with this one but it comes with ciggie plug for the 12v. Did you change that over to one of the better connectors once the warranty was up or left it alone? Is there any value in doing the changeover?
