Use code: JAX12

I am really exited to put this unit to steady constant use! Most of the previous videos ive seen, these fridges have only been used a couple days at a time for camping trips etc.. NOT HERE! I will be putting it through the paces with steady nearly constant use the next 3 months I am trucking. Stay tuned for future updates on this product.

UPDATE: @42 hours running in ECO mode, my batteries are at 12.3v. It’s safe to say I am no longer concerned about this thing draining my batteries 🪫!!

When my grandfather passed away my father bought a red international cabover just like the one your standing in front of I remember sitting on the doghouse while we hauled pigs. It was my fathers first truck when operating without his father. Thought I would share this lol.

This is what I love about sharing these old trucks! They seem to bring back all of these irreplaceable memories from days gone by. Thanks for telling everyone about that little moment in time 😁

You are so funny. Love watching your vids and look forward to what you think. You are so right, other videos out there try to sell you. I feel like I'm in the shop hanging out with an good buddy. Love the personality, and you being real. Oh and thank your family for me for allowing us to take some of your time to make these videos and pods casts. It's not easy, but some days it is what keeps me going. BTW this month will be my 4 round listening to the pods cast. I really like listening to it, reminds me of days gone past. Keep it up.

Yeah I can agree with your assessment of highway food.. it's the same here in Australia, food is often expensive for what you get, and what you get isn't always great.. I recently got a similar sized cooler, and I stock up before I leave home... cheaper, lots healthier, and better selection of foods than almost all roadhouses. Interested to see how you like it...

It's hard to find things that work well for the road life.... They are usually designed for other purposes and the truck is an after thought.

My Whynter fridge/freezer throws off a ton of heat which makes a hot interior that much worse in the summer. Hopefully this one will be better in that respect. It looks rugged, the handles and latches are impressive!

Did you make the trip to Texas with the JRM crew or are you finished for the year? The Iceco seems pretty sweet. Was wondering if it uses less battery power if it was run off 12v as opposed thru the inverter.

@realwildwildwest 9 ай бұрын

It’s now been running for 17 hours. Battery voltage at 12.5 now 😮 I would guess that you are correct about the inverter eating more juice. Unfortunately I don’t have any cigarette lighters wired to my backup batteries. As far as JRM, Wisconsin was my last race. I’ll give an real-time update on it all when I release part two of Wisconsin in a couple days.

@jimmyross1672 9 ай бұрын

lol these trucks use 24v but yeah good question i also would like to know this question im sure it has its own inverter built in alteast i hope for being $900.00 dollars my rent is only 500 a month shit

Sir modern American made Class 8 trucks run on 12 Volts . They have from two to four 12 volt batteries wired parallel which gives them more amp hr capacity but they are 12 volt systems
