And they work excellent as far as fridges go. I have one in the fridge and one in a separate freezer unit. But as GreenHornet mentions, they are a bit pricey. The plus is, the system (solar/battery based) to run them is significantly smaller and it's a far simpler system.

Hey Guys,
I have been doing some more thinking on this and I might have found something that can be modified to work. I think this is what you guys were talking about in your earlier posts. It is a Portable freezer with a Danfoss compressor unit. It is marketed as the smallest portable freezer you can get it weighs like 19lbs LOL and is hand carry. Not only that I can use it as its intended purpose and make it to where its still portable. The unit also has cup holders which solves another interior problem. the dimensions of the unit fit in the center console of the car like a glove. Another thing I like is the fact that it is 12V and 120V so if I am on a trip I can take it into the hotel and use it
Anyways here is a link to the unit =

The unit is a little pricey but the good thing is this would end up being less than getting the window AC unit and inverter set up. This would also be more compact and far lighter. I guess you could call it Centurion sized
