Took a bunch of measurements of the Frunk (like how "frunk" is actually recognized by spellcheck!) and looked for a compressor style electric cooler. I settled on this one and so far so good! Also these are the organizers that keep the cooler from sliding around. Just grab onto the carpet
I do recommend that you fill it up with whatever you want to cool down and leave the frunk open as it will heat it up a lot on that initial cool down. Then put the fridge in eco mode. The 12V system is constantly topped off from the main battery pack so no need to worry about killing the 12V system. I have tested this with the weather being in the high to low 80s during the day and it does get somewhat warm in the frunk but once the cooler is to temp and just maintaining its not bad. Will see how this does in the summer.
Still tinkering around with the settings a bit. I think it needs to be on the medium setting for the voltage sensitivity as the Rivian does not go to like 14 volts like a ICE vehicle does when running. Stays at a constant 12.6 to 12.7 volts from what I have seen.
