Killer setup. Thanks for sharing.

Ya, some nice cutthroat and rainbows. There's a huge forest fire near where we were so it was eerie orange light all day too, but the sunsets were better than usual ...

Very cool. Congrats

So how does the 10ga wire (I’m looking at that ARB or DIY to a new pan)get ran is that under the vehicle or they all the interior panels. [emoji33] [emoji51]

My electricity game is a -2 at best.

So the hardware with the awning installed fairly straight forward on the stick roof rails. Not super clean (excess brackets) and one nice paint gouge but it’s secure and solid. Fits my needs perfectly.

If you do some searching, you will find some people that have either installed the ARB or some homegrown solution. Example:

Nice awning.

Good luck - lots of info on the forums - people have done almost everything and written about it here.

Dometic CFX75DZ w/Goal Zero Yeti1000

My system is run very similar Yeti powers the Dometic and recharges from the main battery. If I’m out for several days camping I plug in solar panels to keep the Yeti charged.

Oh wow, that's another league completely. Look at that killer setup! Double slide extender. Very nice. Sweet Garage too. Kudos.

I watched some videos on running a hot line from the engine compartment to the back of the cargo area, that power unit is starting to sound a whole lot better. What a job. I'd break every panel clip and never get my interior back together the same again. I might op for conduit under the body! LOL

What temps and what fridge are you using? I have a ARB 50 that lives in the truck 24/7, set to 32ºF, and even after the truck sitting in the sun for a few days of 95ºF+ temps it still solidly maintains 28-36ºF (depending on where it is in it's cooling cycle)

I'll do you one better with my ARB 50... Vegas in the summer. It was 110F in the truck, and I was holding freezer temps at about 13F.

It was running non-stop, but but held a 97 degree delta from in-car ambient. I just stopped worrying about it's performance after that day.

Dang that’s impressive. I’ll know how well it does in those conditions when I get a 24/7 power source. On AC in the garage 111°+ all this past week holds 35° +/- 1-2° no problem.

Under 12v driving does the same.

It’s so nice
