Hard Core 4+
It's the Broncos bye week, so the perfect time to work on the OCU (https://www.facebook.com/OrangeCrashUnit). This weekend's focus was spend on fabricating a pivoting mount and then installing a new beverage cooler. We knew we wanted a new bigger fridge, and even knew the compartment in which we would store it. But what type and how it was powered were the real questions. 12 volt or 120 volt power or maybe even run off propane? A standard compact unit with a small freezer and a fridge, or a beverage cooler without the freezer, or maybe just go with a kegerator? After much debate, it was decided to go with the beverage cooler. A kegerator would probably leave us with a lot of wasted beer, and units with freezers never offered enough usable space. We also know that we will still be hauling at least one cooler for the food items and plan to move the small 12V powered cooler we currently have to just under the new fridge. Here is the current small 12v unit:
The compartment we want to use is in the front of the ambulance box. It is the only compartment that can be accessed from both the interior and the exterior. Here is the compartment:
After getting the needed measurements we ordered up a fridge that met the desired specs. We had it set to arrive with plenty of time to spare in case anything went wrong. Thank goodness we did. Here is the first one to arrive:
Didn't even need to open that box to tell it was damaged. So it was returned and another was brought in. After having to wait longer than were told, the new one arrived in about the same condition:
No broken pieces of glass fell out of this box so we opened it hopefully. But the door was damaged beyond repair:
After a few brief conversations with the manufacturer, it became apparent that a different vendor/manufacturer would be in order. So we ordered in a NewAir unit. This one arrived on time and in mint condition. Here is the unit we ended up going with (http://www.newair.com/beverage-cooler/freestanding/ab-1200-126can-beverage-fridge/):
So we cleared out the compartment and got to work:
