My 60l fridge is on the left and the 40l freezer is on the right. Something to consider when you find that one fridge/freezer just isn't enough for those big trips. I did have one Engel in the rear as a freezer and another Engel with the extended lid as a fridge on the floor behind the front passenger seat after completely removing the middle row of seats. This was a pain because it was a real B to get in and out and the lid wouldn't open fully. Another thing to consider is how far will your door open if you have a trailer/van hitched up? Opening my door fully, I can slide out either fridge and stand on the trailer hitch to get into the fridge. Sometimes, dependent on ground level and alignment with the trailer I can't open the door fully so am unable to access the right side fridge.

Hi
I am also looking at keeping the 3rd of seats, however both can be folded away when I want to travel.
please can someone post pictures on how the false floor is secured over the 3rd. row of seats. I have tried and the weight of the drop down fridge lifts the 3rd of seats. The other problem when the 3rd row of seats are folded away the floor is not level as others have shown on this thread.
I am not sure what mount points are use.Regards SAFTGT

Not 100% sure what you are asking. The factory tie down points have a plastic tab which you lift to expose the bolt. To reuse the tiedowns you will need to make a recess in the ply floor and use longer bolts.

HI, I have change to a upright Kings 85 liter fridge with a 5 year warranty. No 42 kg slide needed and so much easier to find the beers. I made a wooden frame. Bolted the fridge to the frame and used standard door hinges to "plug and play" the fridge when required. The hinges are screwed to the false floor.Regards SAFTGT
