I don't think anyone here can be sure about the reefer wants for power, but it likely wants a constant voltage (12v), not a constant current. The TF49 DC is spec'ced with a nominal input power requirement of 60 Watts. At 12 VDC that's 5 amps. So I'm wondering about trying something really simple and inexpensive, like this eBay 12VDC 8A laptop computer style power supply. At $15 it's worth a try. I'd be surprised if it didn't do the trick. -- Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott 1984 Westfalia, auto trans, Bend, Ore.
