This is going to drive vendors nuts but, I think RC members deserve the highest quality products at the best prices (include affordable quality products for those reefers on a budget). I want a quick reference thread that shows the best prices on specific peices of equipment or popular goods. Only list products that you have used and would recommend. Please do not list products that you have not personally experienced or would not recommend to your best friend ;). Please if you are affiliated in any way with a vendor that could be possibly mentioned, I ask that you abstain from participation. Please include a link to the product page and current price--I am aware that prices change all the time but, hopefully we can keep a current list. I'll start it off and hopefully we get good participation.
