VL45 ProS

Key facts

• Uses the same SECOP compressor family as fridges costing twice as much
• Half the price of the CFX3 buys a simpler interface and heavier cabinet, not a lesser chiller
• Like all fridges it travels inside the rig — no roof-load math required

Fitment: rides inside, not on the roof

A 12V fridge lives in the cargo area or on a slide — its 47 lbs never touches your roof rating. The fitment questions are interior: does it fit your cargo footprint with the lid able to open, and can your battery setup feed a compressor overnight? Neither involves the load checker, which is exactly why fridge money is the easiest money in an overland build.
