i have something similar to this
http://koolatrononline.stores.yahoo.net/koolatron-p75-kool-kaddy.html
but mine has wheels at one end and a handle and was not as much (paid something around $100). Says 4 amps. Mine has a thermostat (not adjustable) and at that amp rate would probably need to recharge the battery after 24hrs if you don't open it too much or reload it, sooner if you do (and also depends how hot it is outside).

equivalent size ARB fridge takes .85 amps, so drains a lot less, so should be a no brainer - one thing i can't find is what is the minimum voltage at which it will work (not mentioned and that sucks since it's important esp on camping trips where you dont run the engine).

Like I said you can set the voltage on the ARB.

Shut off voltages are;
10.1 low
11.4 med
11.8 high

Restart voltages are;
11.1 low
12.2 med
12.6 high

can you disable shutoff altogether? for 10.1v minimum you wont get much use out of it while stopped i think, would be nice to find a review about that though 'cause i'm just guessing (i have no base for that statement).

There are a bunch of review's on youtube.  Just make sure you're looking at the newer ARB and not the older Engel/ARB.  The new ARB is the plastic one.
