I have a fridge in two vehicles. One covered and one not since they aren't the same say I can't definitively say it provides insulation & reduces power consumption. Some covers are very well insulated and others are just fabric to prevent scratches so it greatly depends on the cover. I would say...

I have an Aluminess Deluxe box mounted on a dual swingout rear bumper. A 5lb propane tank is mounted on top of the box. The stove is on a pullout so I could use it in the box but we always take it off and setup a cooking table in camp. I used to have a Zarges box kitted out as my kitchen box but...

Mostly Zarges boxes. They stand the test of time and many are certified bear proof for food.

I sewed my own roll-up kit that I hang from track (using sew on keder rod) I installed under my awning. Used my vinyl cutter and iron on vinyl to make the utensil silhouettes.

I used the Powertank 5lb propane bracket mounted to the rear of my roof rack. Welcome to the 5lb tank club. It is the perfect size for camping and cheap to fill up.

Zarges aluminum boxes
