I picked up a 53qt BougeRV 12V Portable Car Refrigerator as an Xmas present to myself, and I have to say - I'm impressed for the price point. I was able to pick it up with 2 discounts and paid $250. Oddly I did a search for it in here, and nobody is talking about it.
I can run it on my 32AH battery for 20hrs while maintaining a 42d F temp in 75d F space.
Does anyone here have one, and how is it performing for you?

I have one, been using it since spring. I only have a single battery but have been driving the Jeep enough to not have many issues. I love keeping water and pop in it at all times. I did however lose some lunch meat in it. I checked the temp in the morning but when I started the Jeep it must have dipped below the voltage cutoff. Apparently it doesn’t re-start the fridge when it gets full voltage. I had an E1 error code, I couldn’t find the code listed anywhere but assume is voltage cutoff

That's definitely a bargain. It is a Chinese knock off of everyone else's, which are also made in China mostly. My only concern would be longevity of the compressor which I kinda doubt is as good of quality as higher priced options. I'm not harping on this. It might not matter. There are a lot of cheap knock offs that make a lot of sense these days such as diesel heaters, awnings, etc. The quality might not be that high but must of us only use them occasionally.
