Tim...that's a great price for the big'n!!! They seem to have good customer service...when you call, a real person picks up the phone!!!
Congratulations! That looks real nice. BTW-with that stack of cash on the desk next to it maybe you could buy the rest of us one.
Looks like you found a perfect spot for it. Better order another one for your camper.
The thought actually crossed my mind... then again if I really wanted a fridge in here I'd steal the dorm fridge out of the conference room.
But yeah Jeff too bad I can't spend those million dollar bills huh?

so how do you tie this down?? and what size did you get Tim?
Well if I run out of cold beer at CM10 I know who to go and hit up. You'll have no excuse for not having one with that thing.
come on over Corbet, there will be plenty.. between this in the camper and the Engel in the 80, we should be ok for a while..
Kevin I'm not sure on holding it down, will need to come up with something. It's true what's been said about the handles, I could feel them flexing just carrying it to the truck empty, not sure that's the best tie-down solution. I'll stare at it a bit again tomorrow.
I'll be patiently waiting for you to come up with a solution that I can blatantly copy
(if you don't mind that is)

I like the next product possibility here.... Nakman Edgestar handle tie down replacements. Nice nylon replacement peices that work with tiedowns...
Caribou Sandstorm
Hard Core 4+
Here is what I did, hasn't moved since I installed just before Rubithon.
I drilled 2 eye bolts through the body and used rubber tape to seal it, probably not very sealed but have had no issues...mounted straps from handle to eyebolts..Solid, never moves.

Hey as long as you're poking around on there buy an antenna mount!
Help
OK Folks, if you would please indulge me. In the descriptions I see on these, and on Edgestars web site it lays it out as Width, Height, Depth. Now call me silly but height and depth seem to describe the same thing to me.
I would think it should be Length, Width, Height. Can someone do me a favor and break it down for me...is depth really the width, and width really the length, and height really the height???? Not trying to be thick, but I have a very specific space I need to use it in.
That leads me to my next question. Anybody have any opinion on these fridge's working in the desert on a boat...regularly 100+ degrees. Any angle issues? ambient temperature issues?
Thanks!!!!

I did not look at the site but I'm going to assume you can exchange debth for length. As far as working on your boat you should be fine provided you can power it. The 100+ degrees will not hurt it as much as sitting in direct sunlight will. If your talking bot,h the compressor will probably alway be on. It will still be cold inside but drawing a lot of power. I had my Engel in Vegas a few summers ago. 114 outside temps. Sitting in my truck parked much hotter. Fridge worked great but used a lot more power.
Just measured mine to verify...
The 63Qt unit states:
Height is height - It is 20.7" high or tall
Width - You can call that the length...or distance between the handles
Depth - I would tend to call this the width...or distance from the latch side to the hinge side
So, basically what you said
Just in case...I put this together...No comment on my lack of Paint skillz
EDIT: I took some actual measurements and updated the pic

Thank You!
I appreciate it very very much.
Now another question for you, when you open the lid are the hinges recessed so that the lid doesn't cause any extra depth when you have the lid open at lets say a 90 degree angle?
BTW, your paint skills are far better than mine!!!

I took some actual measurements of my fridge/freezer and updated the picture above...As you can see, the listed dimensions vs. actual are a bit different. I'm guessing the dimensions they list are strictly for the outside case without handles, hinges, latches, etc.
As for the lid, the hinges are NOT recessed...To open the lid 90 degrees you'll need about an additional 2 1/4" of room. Actually, to open the lid at all you'll probably need about that much additional room.
So for the FP630 that updated 19" of depth needed really needs to be ~21 1/4".
Hope that helps
Thank You once again
