I have 2005 Terracan & it's sockets are all rated at 120 watts which I can run a WAECO 45 on no trouble, but it's compressor (BD35) is smaller than yours. Best way to find out is to plug it in, and if it cuts out after a couple of minutes you know it's not adequate.

Hi Dags
The wire that goes to these plugs are not sufficent to run fridges properly. To get the best out of your fridge it is best to re-wire with 6-8mm wire. If you run your fridge on the exsisting plug, you might find the wires will start to melt. It may be best to change the plug on your fridge to a hella plug and put the corresponding socket in your 4wd.
cheers

The plug in the back of the 100 series only has power when the vehicle is swiched on. No good if you want to run a fridge. Run a separate power cable with fuse directly from the battery
