I have a Forester 2015 and I am looking for a small refrigerator that fits in and is compatible with this model. Any recommendations??
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!

I use a 20 year old version of this $90 12 volt powered Coleman cooler:

It uses a lot of electricity compared to a compressor refrigerator, not a problem when the wagon engine is running. The Subaru rear power outlet powers off when the car engine is off, so no flat battery issue for my use of transporting cold food. If you want to camp out for days with no other power, it is not for you.

I have two Koolatron thermoelectric refrigerators/coolers that haven't let me down in many years. I use the smaller one for daily work use on the road (fits behind either of the front seats), and the bigger for family vacations (fits in the trunk). I also have the AC adapter so that I can bring it into a hotel room and keep it plugged in.

I have sat for two hours with this plugged in and the car battery is fine. Wouldn't leave it overnight on car battery power though.

I used an IGLOO Iceless cooler on our last trip, Plugs into the outlet in the car, kept things cold enough, took it into the room (not a camper) at night, used the adapter, Worked great for what I wanted. Rode comfortably behind the drivers seat for 2500 miles.
