I purchased a 2006 six pac s650 from an older couple that barely used it. I bought it for the size of the beds and relative simplicity of the camper for when Im towing my off road car into the sierra...

Keep the ice box for now, re-evaluate later. Use your existing portable to freeze more ice as needed? That's what I do when my 3-way refuses to do its job in hot weather. Small portable 12V unit sits between the cab seats, runs when I drive, freezes small reusable Blue Ice units.
In answer to someone who questioned the need for this:
My refrigerator issues probably do not apply to most TC campers. The Tiger's design has two sidewall frig vents, one right above the other, instead of one side vent and a roof-top chimney vent. Dumb design flaw causes poor updraft, which some owners solve by adding multiple little fans and various other things. Add in the leveling issues (3-way frigs have to be close to level) of camping dispersed or in very primitive camps and you have poor refrigeration in hot weather. I have no generator, no solar, and a CPAP machine to support. The electrical system charges from the truck's heavy-duty alternator or from the very rare times when I have shore power. It isn't big enough to supply a permanent compressor frig. The best solution to my hot weather frig problems right now is re-freezing Blue Ice in a small portable Dometic CDF-11 which runs off the truck's 12V dash plug when driving. It suits me because I rarely stay in one camp more than a night or two.
You needs and results probably will vary.
