So now with the hotter weather here in Houston, my fridge can’t be run like before. The Jeep gets too hot inside for the fridge and Jeep battery to keep up. Maybe if my commute was 45minutes each way instead of 20 it would top off the battery. Same with running off just the Yeti400. With the...

Fridge is still running great. I noticed that when connected to my Yeti400 the fridge’s low voltage protection kicks on at about 30%. So I switched it from Medium to Low protection. Now it uses up more of the battery if I let it. It will also drain your Jeep battery below starting level if you...

It’s not well insulated so it doesn’t hold temp when turned off. If it’s 90F in the Jeep it’ll go from 32f to 50f in an hour. As for battery usage, it does pretty well at fridge temps 36F will run for a full day without the engine running. That’s if it’s 85F in the Jeep. If it’s hotter it’ll...

So jealous, those trailers are SWEEET.

Damn dude. I had all four brakes n rotors, water pump, replace brake fluid and coolant on our Lexus GX460 and it was only $1275. You need to find a better shop if you can’t do it yourself. The labor rate at the shop I use is $120/hr too.

I added the Teraflex Big Rotor Kit to Polar Express. Big difference in stopping power and pedal feel from stock.

I don’t think there are many deals on fridges, this one is pretty low already. My “54qt” can hold an 18 pack of beer on each side of the main compartment and two half gallon containers in the smaller section. If you need to refrigerate your dog food it would depend on how much you feed them...

Thanks! I really wanted to go with a dual battery setup for the Jeep but that’s around $800 battery+kit. This was cheaper and gives me a lot of flexibility, although it does take up space in the back, which sucks.

Yeah, their charge solutions aren’t great but that’s why I didn’t go with the 400 lithium. I specifically wanted to be able to charge this with the Jeep AND be able to daisy chain additional batteries. Love the compactness and output of the Li it just didn’t suit my needs.

It’s not a lot of AH, but for the price and size it’s pretty good. I’ve already run the fridge a full 26hrs off the Yeti alone, by tripling the storage capacity I should be good for a long weekend. I’ve got a small solar panel that will help when parked, and the Yeti will be plugged into the...

For those that wanted a rundown on the Yeti/battery setup, here’s a link to the thread I just started in General Discussion. More Power!! Adding batteries to a Yeti400 https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/index.php?threads/More-Power%21%21-Adding-batteries-to-a-Yeti400.22042/

I bought my GoalZero Yeti400 to run my A-PAP and charge stuff up while camping. Then I ditched my cooler and got a fridge. The Yeti can run the fridge all night but a fridge and the A-PAP puts a big drain on it. There are Anderson ports on each side so you can daisy chain 400s together, so why...

I’ll make sure to post updates, as buying a fridge for most of us is a huge deal. So far it’s been working well, however it’s also been colder than normal. I’m trying to figure out a budget slide for it, something like a Drifta kitchen. Using PTFE to let the drawer slide. I’ll post stuff on that...

I would be extremely happy with that setup too! You’ve got more money wrapped up in batteries than I have for my whole system. [emoji23] When I get a trailer, your system is what I want to do. Looks awesome man.

I was able to buy everything off amazon. The post-to-Anderson connectors and battery boxes come in tomorrow but the batteries won’t be here until next week. I’ll post the product list and photos of the setup when I get the batteries. That’s right, I’m adding two instead of one, because why not...
