    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Portable Cooler Fridge vs Built In

    Can you get by with a smaller volume portable cooler fridge than a built in fridge. I would think the portable packs tighter and has less wasted space.

We do not have a truck. I am leaning towards a extend cab full size truck (possibly a chevy) with 6.5...
