Kenworth T600 Refrigerators & Mounting Kits

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Refrigerators & Mounting Kits

Will a refrigerator mounting kit fit any refrigerator model in my Kenworth T600?

Most mounting kits are designed to work with a specific range of refrigerator sizes and brands rather than being universal. Before purchasing, check the dimensions and mounting hole pattern of your refrigerator against the kit specifications listed on the product page to confirm a proper fit for your T600.

Where in the cab is the refrigerator typically installed?

In most T600 sleeper configurations, refrigerators are mounted in the lower cabinet area, under the bunk, or in a dedicated storage compartment depending on how the cab was originally set up. Your mounting kit should include hardware suited to the mounting location it was designed for, so it helps to know where your fridge will be installed before ordering.

What tools do I need to install a refrigerator mounting kit?

Installation generally requires basic hand tools such as a drill, screwdrivers, and a wrench or socket set, along with the mounting brackets and fasteners included in the kit. Some installations may also require measuring and marking mounting points ahead of time to ensure the refrigerator sits level and secure once installed.

How much power does a 12V truck refrigerator draw, and will it drain my batteries?

Power draw varies by refrigerator size and brand, so it's important to check the manufacturer's listed amperage or wattage rating before installation. Many drivers wire their refrigerator through an auxiliary power source or battery system designed to handle accessory loads, which helps avoid unnecessary drain on the truck's starting batteries.

Do these mounting kits secure the refrigerator well enough to prevent shifting while driving?

A properly installed mounting kit is designed to hold the refrigerator firmly in place during normal driving conditions, reducing movement and vibration. Make sure all provided brackets and fasteners are fully tightened during installation, and periodically check the hardware over time since regular vibration on the road can gradually loosen mounting points.
