I recently purchased a Whynter portable 65g fridge/freezer. It came with a DC plug to plug into a cigarette lighter. I am planning on cutting the cigarette lighter end off running an extra couple feet of wire to my rocker panel and then into my fuse box. I am mostly planning on using this as a fridge but I am spending next summer up in AK so the possibility of driving south with a bunch frozen fish is a possibility.
Despite wiring my whole van thus far I am definitely still an electrical rookie. I have been airing on the side of safety thus far and looking for someone's opinion with more experience just to make sure I am safe. I found this chart https://www.ajmadison.com/ajmadison/itemdocs/FM-65G Comsumption Chart-2.pdf online describing the electrical draw but with so many variables depending on ambient temp I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations on what they would fuse this at and the recommended wire gauge for my couple foot extension.
Thank you so much
