I removed the driver's side cabinet on my Peterbilt 387 and installed a dorm sized fridge I bought from one of my subs for $50. Built a frame around it and I have a butcher block table 38" x 20" that I use for office work, meal prep and eating. I sit on the bed and the table is over my knees. With the fridge on the driver's side, I can get a midnight snack or drink while laying in bed due to the door hinges being towards the front of the truck.

I put a 4.4 cubic foot fridge in mine with the freezer cause I had it from high school. It hits the microwave mount but it’s snug. I had to figure out my own strap mounts because my company had the plate reinstalled without any straps. I’m glad I could make it work

Yes, it’s a factory cabinet, just depends on how the truck is spec’d. this one originally had the base for a bring your own fridge.
That's nice man.What size t v you got there next to the microwave? Also what size inverter do you have to power that Refrigerator? When I go to bed at night, And turn the truck offwill the inverter drain my truck battery?

It’s the factory inverter but I can’t remember if it’s a 1500w or 1800 off the top of my head. If the batteries are good, it shouldn’t drain just while sleeping on your break.
I'm trying to figure out how big does my inverter need to be to run that refrigerator

Is there a desk to do paperwork or to eat in that truck once you took out the original wit the big fridge ?
@TruckinwithTBone

The original only had a drawer and an opening for a fridge. The top had edges that would have made it difficult to use as a table or desk. To answer your question, there is a pull out table/desk on the opposite side.
Can you provide a link or contact where to purchase this kit
