Well, with minimal research, I went for a Waeco 40.
Good bad or indifferent, it is done now, let the chips fall where they may.

Just make sure you have good connections and steady 12 v supply .
You should have no problems IMO

Give any cig sockets the flick they do fail and not the best going.
use either twistlock Engel/Baintech style, even 50 amp anderson will
do the trick. Make sure your wire is adequate to carry the current to the rear of the Patrol,
Even a merit socket and plug would be OK
When you fit your Dual battery tray please use Mudguard washers [penny washers]
and nyloc nuts, Ive seen too many GQs with broken inner guards from poor fitting
practices.

But yes that 2nd one does look better. So have you installed this into yours?
Interesting idea... Got a mate that had a busted engel I should try and fix
Ive used this temp controller on my engel setup too mate. Works a treat.

Well, after a little retail adventure, getting all the tools ready, and spreading shit all over the kitchen table to do surgery....I realised that the Waeco plug just has a little sleeve on it you can take off and it fits in a merit socket.

Right above the fridge, so I can snap the plug when I open the door incautiously.

There are a few options to mount it, I have used an Engel transit base ,but that wont work for you.
There are two styles of fridge slides one slides and the other $$$$ slides and drops down.
Make sure you restrain the fridge from moving around maybe use some rachett straps.
Where are you putting your fridge???
