Kenworth T880 Refrigerators & Mounting Kits

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T880 Refrigerators & Mounting Kits

Will a refrigerator and mounting kit from this category fit my Kenworth T880 without modification?

Most refrigerators and mounting kits listed in this category are designed to fit the factory space and mounting points found in the Kenworth T880 cab or sleeper. However, fitment can vary depending on cab configuration, trim level, and model year, so it is important to check the listed specifications and compare them to your truck's interior dimensions before purchasing. If you are unsure, reach out to our team with your VIN or cab details so we can help confirm compatibility.

What size refrigerator will fit in my T880, and how do I measure for it?

Refrigerator sizes vary depending on where it will be installed, such as under the bunk, in a console, or in a dedicated cabinet space. Before ordering, measure the height, width, and depth of the available space, including any door swing or ventilation clearance needed. Product listings typically include exact unit dimensions to help you compare against your available space.

What is included with a mounting kit, and will I need additional hardware?

Mounting kits generally include the brackets, slides, or frame components needed to secure the refrigerator in place, along with the fasteners required for a standard installation. Depending on your specific setup, you may also need basic tools such as a drill, socket set, or wrench. If a kit does not include every fastener needed for your particular configuration, we recommend checking the product description or contacting us for clarification.

Do these refrigerators run off truck power, and will they drain my battery?

Most 12-volt truck refrigerators are designed to run efficiently on your truck's electrical system, including while idling or parked with the engine off for reasonable periods. Many units include low-voltage protection that automatically shuts the unit off before it draws the battery down too far. Always check the power draw and voltage cutoff specifications listed for each model to make sure it matches your intended use, especially for extended parked time.

How difficult is installation, and can I install it myself?

Installation difficulty depends on the specific refrigerator and mounting location, but most kits are designed for straightforward installation using basic hand tools and the included mounting hardware. Many drivers install these themselves in a few hours, though some prefer professional installation if wiring modifications or custom cabinet cutting is required. Reviewing the installation instructions included with your specific unit before starting the job is always recommended.
