Does anyone know if I can run a mini fridge in the back of the fj from the factory 110 outlet?
My wife picked one up for 10 bucks it works great I just don't know about the amp draw.
A little household fridge is probably not going to work in the FJ. I saved up for an ARB fridge, waited patiently for a super sale and snagged one. It is probably one of the best things I bought for the FJ. We use it all the time on trips and grocery getting.
Save up and buy one when you can they are terrific! Save the little Haier for beer in the garage!
Oh it will be a little beer fridge while we are camping. I have a yeti that keeps things good for a while but wanted to run the fridge while we drive down to keep some of the other stuff cooler
It's not going to work, at least not in any practical way.
The inverter only puts out 100 watts when the vehicle is in motion; that's less than an amp at 115 VAC.
It does put out 400W when the transmission is in P or N, and the engine is running. However, it would seem (at least to me) to be moronic to leave a 4.0L engine idling all day so that a mini-fridge could operate.
Go cheap with ice and a good-quality, well-insulated chest, or if you really need refrigeration save up for an Engel or ARB freezer/fridge.
I'm saving. I was able to get my yeti free through work so for now ice ice baby.
