    Got myself 2012 Cascadia with ISX (insert lots more specs here lol)
    Doesn't come with a refrigerator and it's a must for me. What are my options here?
    Does FREIGHTLINER have oem fridges that are 100% fit? Would they be better vs whatever truck stops sell?

    Thanks!

    OEM fridges are ridiculously expensive. I just tore out the small cabinet behind the drives seat and got one from Lowes. Works great.

    www.truckfridge.com is the best aftermarket out there.
    They sell the complete Cascadia setup, I just bought the fridge & made my own brackets.
    Warranty is 2nd to none, mine went bad after 23 months, the paid shipping both ways & repaired it for free.
    Originally purchased in 2009 & still going great..
     
    Vital and bzinger Thank this.

    Had my passenger seat taken out bought a nice fridge from Walmart. Then put in two L bracket where the seat attached to the floor and secured with two rachet straps. So far it's been to years and going strong.

    Speaking of Freightliner fridges (Dometic OEM), what is involved in getting one out of a 2015 Cascadia cabinet to clean and vacuum the condenser? Mine is now running 24/7.

    Im a little late but after you pull off the plastic trim, you will see the mounting hardware . Clean it weekly and it's still nasty and dusty back there IMG_3261.JPG IMG_3262.JPG IMG_3263.JPG IMG_3265.JPG
