    You have a really nice rig. My other vehicle is a 2021 TRD Offroad, and when the old wrangler kicks the bucket, the Tacoma will take over. Lucky you, living in the town where the Overland Expo will take place. We're going to make it out for this, but I don't know if I'll be meeting many OB...

    How are you guys powering your fridge in the back of SUV?

    The whole reason for the jackery is that the circuitry in the fridges won't allow you to run off a battery below 12.4 volts. In fact there's a small range, 12.7 volts max. and 12.4 volts min. Otherwise it shuts off. Having the Jackery (lithium battery) in line fools this circuitry. As I said...

    How are you guys powering your fridge in the back of SUV?

    I have run my smaller fridge (alpicool) for that long with a stand-alone jackery 500 (500 watt). It kept the fridge going for about 24 hours.

    How are you guys powering your fridge in the back of SUV?

    I put an auxiliary battery under the hood of my jeep and later purchased a fridge. turns out the fridge shuts itself down before the aux. (low draw) battery is even close to a level that's a problem. Solution was to put a lithium (jackery) in line between fridge and aux. battery. The jackery...

    We need to do something.

    I'm thinking there's actually great value in complaining. Sounds funny, but it's a tried and true way of getting peoples' attention. No one likes to find trash in the outdoors. Michael's campaign holds true: Leave it better than you found it, which is a positive, inspiring message. So says the...

    Sometimes I think we've gone too far.

    Whew! What a relief!! I thought you were making a comment on Society..:grinning:. I'm about to pull things together for another long trip, and realized the gear gets customized for the activities of each trip. This time it's overlanding for three nights, followed by a five day guided rafting...

    Jim, it looks like you got it! Thanks for your help. Is this something that I should have been able to do on my own, or perhaps it should have changed automatically?

    Coming up on the one year mark since I moved, and my dot on the map is still in the old town where I used to live. I tried to move it on the map and in my profile, but I guess I need my hand held for this one. Please help me move my dot! Alex Brame 20855
