Has anyone attempted to put in a portable refrigerator in the back of a RX330? I have a 110v outlet in the back of my RX330, what do most people use it for (besides video game consoles)?

Usually those outlets in SUVs have a maximum amperage/wattage allowance marked on them. I have a feeling that a compressor on a traditional fridge would draw too much current (amps). A Peltier box (cooling plates) would draw less current.

My 12V Peltier box includes a annoying little noisemaker (fan) and produces a fair amount of racket, but very little in the way of cooling effect. I used it in my RX300 for a year or two for long trips. IF contents are pre-chilled at home before you pack the 'fridge and leave, you stand a chance of keeping items cold through the first day. DO NOT depend on the little box to cool, say, a warm six-pack.
I charge my notebook, and operate several large battery chargers for professional video gear - all from the 110V port. Whether on the road or on location, it works great! Tip: if you intend to use the built-in inverter, carry a spare fuse or two - just in case you get too ambitious with your load.
