    Power for ARB Fridge

    I got the same fridge and ran it off my starting battery it worked fine until the fridge died (only lived about 3 months, they refunded me quickly though). But when I used it I was moving quite a bit not staying in one place. I don't think I could have gone more than 24 hours without the...

    Solar Panel/Chargers

    I've got an AGM Battery and Renogy Rover MPPT controller all conveniently locked into an ammo can and mounted in the back with a 100W Renogy panel mounted on the roof rack. I've also got the house battery charging after the starting battery is full while traveling. So far it's worked great even...

    Overland Rally + Fridge Conundrum... WWYD?

    I think the deal at the rally is/was equivalent to buying online honestly. I ended up getting the Dometic CFX 50 for $850, drop shipped to my house in 7-10 days. I could go on Amazon today and get it for $869.20 and have it in 2 days. If they had the model I wanted there maybe I could have got...

    Overland Rally + Fridge Conundrum... WWYD?

    Good to know, I personally never buy the extended waranties, usually just a marketing gimmick. It's the Engel that has the additional factory warranty for free right now direct from their site. Not the Dometic at Camping world.

    Overland Rally + Fridge Conundrum... WWYD?

    So as some of you know my fridge recently busted... Lame and super lame timing since we're about to go to Overland Rally. The MFG is going to refund my $$ since it's only a few months old, so that's cool. Here's my conundrum... two fold... Currenlty Engel has their 40L on sale for $699 + an...

    In the Public's eye

    My mother used to say for every finger you point, there are 10 pointing back at you. It's all about personal responsibility, not the vehicle you drive. Organizations should foster and promote good behavior and encourage stewardship it's that simple. A douchebag can drive any vehicle and I'm...

    sPOD vs Switch Pros

    They warn about it in the manual, I've heard of the pins getting corroded when mounting it horizontal. Water could easily get stuck in the "cup" of the connector. I installed my vertically to avoid that.

    DIY Bluetooth Fridge Monitor

    Thanks! Is the ARB one BlueTooth? How far can you get before it disconnects? Does it also have alarms? I'll have to look it up and see what specs it has. It's way more fun to build it yourself! :) -Aaron
