Up next Trail Advisory: Imogene Pass Published on January 03, 2018 Author Tread Staff Tags ARB, ARB Fridges, Vehicle mounted fridges, Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 Product Spotlight: ARB Element Vehicle-mounted fridges have one fatal flaw, they are relatively delicate. There are many brands of fridges available, but only a handful are hearty enough to be permanently mounted outside, exposed to the elements. ARB recognized this flaw and developed their Elements Weatherproof fridge/freeze. It is constructed of stainless steel, and features a fully weatherproof exterior. It has been designed specifically to withstand 365 days a year of being mounted in the bed of a pickup truck, and at 63 quarts, it is well-suited to carry a plethora of perishables for your adventures off the beaten path. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter for FREE In addition to its stainless body and weatherproof exterior, ARB revised and updated its design of fridges and included a gas strut-assisted lid for one-handed operation and safety features, like a 4-digit pin lock, to ensure that your temperature range is not tampered with nor your precious beverages thieved. Other features are heavy-duty, cast stainless steel hinges, tamper-proof bolts for permanent mounting, a padlock provision for added security, backlit LED display with ad dimming function, reversible cabinet baskets, drain plug, rubber feet and a built in three-stage battery protection. It can cool from -0˚ F to +60˚ F and operate in ambient temperatures up to +109˚ F. It weighs in at a reasonable 70 lbs and operates on 12/24v DC or 100-240v AC. MSRP is at $1289.00.
