Where are you trying to plug the fridge into, it sounds you wanna plug it into your cig, lighter in the front,
I for one dont like those cig plugs, I bought myself a male and female low voltage 12 volt plugs, cut of the cig lighter and wired up the male plug, then wired in the female plug to the rear of my 4b, using 3ml cabling with a direct line to my second battery, and of cause with a circuit breaker as close to the batery as possible,
I also bought a female plug for my mobitronic power supply for 240 volts, thus elimenating the cig lighter completly .
You dont really want to have extentions, the more plugs the more drop in amps.

i'm intending to use the plug that's in the rear of the wagon but the cable is still too short as it limits where i can place it ... ideally i would like to fold the centre seats and put it in there but the cable won't reach either the power outlet at the front or rear if i do ....

Can you turn your lid around, I have a 80L ,the one thing I didnt do when I installed my plug, is
check the cable on the waeco , So I had to turn the lid around .

I have done this in my patrol. I simply went to the 12 volt
shop and got a female plug to suit the waeco and made a 4 foot extension using 6mm doulble, sheathed wire, which goes into the 2 pin low voltage plug in the back of the car. Now when we sleep in the back of the car, I can put da waeco on the front passenger
seat ( a bit squeesy) or any where in the car when travelling. If you cut the plug off your waeco, not only does it void your warranty, but you can't use the 240v adaptor when ur at
home.
Any auto sparky could do this for a couple of bucks (you supply the parts).
If they want to charge you a heap, anyone with a soldering iron will be able to help.
Cheers,
Muzz
