Kenworth W900B/W900L Refrigerators & Mounting Kits

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Refrigerators & Mounting Kits

Will a refrigerator from this category fit my Kenworth W900B or W900L without modification?

Most units listed in this category are designed to fit the factory sleeper compartments on the W900B and W900L, but exact fitment can vary depending on your sleeper size, cab configuration, and the model year of your truck. It is important to check the listed dimensions and mounting specs against your existing space before ordering, and to confirm whether a mounting kit is required for a secure, factory-style installation.

Do I need a separate mounting kit, or does the refrigerator come with everything I need?

This depends on the specific product. Some refrigerators are sold as standalone units and require a separate mounting kit for proper installation, while others may be bundled with the necessary brackets and hardware. Always check the product description carefully to see what is included so you are not missing parts when it arrives.

What power source do these refrigerators use, and will they drain my battery?

Most 12-volt truck refrigerators in this category are designed to run off your truck's electrical system, either through a cigarette lighter style plug or a hardwired connection. Power draw varies by model, so if you are concerned about battery drain during extended idle-off periods, look for units with low amp draw specs or consider pairing with an auxiliary power source such as an APU or battery pack.

How difficult is it to install the mounting kit myself?

Installation difficulty varies by kit, but many are designed for straightforward bolt-in or slide-in installation using existing mounting points in the sleeper. Basic hand tools are typically all that is needed. If your kit requires drilling or modification to your cab, we recommend having a qualified technician handle the install to avoid damage to interior panels or wiring.

How much interior sleeper space will a refrigerator and mounting kit take up?

Refrigerator sizes vary, so available storage capacity and physical footprint should be compared against your sleeper layout before purchasing. Be sure to measure the intended installation area, including clearance for the door swing and ventilation space, since compact units and larger capacity models will have very different space requirements.
