I've been using on of these for a number of reasons for 6 months now.  It's been through a lot of chit (including a mad dash with lots of airtime in the Jeep down 15 miles of fire road when my daughter had an emergency at 2AM while camping) without breaking a sweat.  Will last on a standard Jeep size AGM for 2 days without even putting a noticeable dent in cranking speed when starting.  No more wet food, buying $20 ice, etc.  110VAC and 12VDC adapters included.

Couple of learning points:

1. Plug it in with the battery off and compare the voltage on the screen to actual voltage on the battery to determine protection levels.  The "High" protection turns off at 12VDC at the fridge, which by the time it makes it through 15' of Chrysler wiring is pretty much any time the engine is turned off.  "Medium" seems to work just fine for us.

2. Set the temp to 5-10* below what you want since the sensor is in the walls, which are colder than the air in the fridge.  Mine is usually set to 27*F to make for 33*F fridge temps.  Beware that any liquid containers directly touching the walls will eventually freeze after a day or so.

3. 58 quarts is almost like a 100 quart cooler since you won't have half the interior taken up by ice.

so if I kept it plugged in to the outlet outside my camper in the dunes then go for  dune ride shut down the generator for a few hours will it keep cold or will it be warm by time I get back?

Only a complete moron thinks that by adjusting the clock you change when the sun comes up or sets.  If you want to start work when the sun comes up you get up early in the summer and sleep a little longer in the winter.  My guy's start work for 3 weeks in the summer as early 4:30am and in the winter they get about 3 weeks of 7:30am.  If they want 8 hours of sleep well in the summer time they have to go to bed when the sun is still sometimes up.  Changing the clock around will not make much of a difference.

You get long days you get short day they change every day if you don't like it. Well take it up with the design team.

miss Dumont.halloween is so rad out there and it was only a hour from my dads house so I was there for small 1 or 2 day trips to 4 to 5 day trips.ill get back there one day

thanks to everybody who chimed in and gave there advice.so vets is not going to happen for me this year.im taking my AZ plumbing test on November 10th  and I just remembered I have 3 inspections one on 11/12 and the other 2 on 11/15 for my new pole barn im building and the township is so backed up and a mess I don't wanna push it back so we decided to do this for our new years trip.i ll do a November trip with my 2 kids on a off weekend but wife called around today and most said thay are booked for the Christmas and past New Years.but she did find one spot left at (Chula Vista k.o.a) looks nice, got good reviews and close to beach and to check out the san Diego area.

idk I was trying to stay close within a 3 hour drive max really.she will down for anything real besides sitting in my sxs yelling at me to slow down and take it easy or just sitting in camp reading a book.we not real beach people but she wants to see the west coast with the beaches and cliffs.im down to anything cuz if I make her happy she will be happy and thats important when I take her out there and its not often I take her.

wife may come out for vets but she's not a dune person and can only hang in the dunes for so long before she is board.so I figured I can come out a few days before vets and pull the TH out of storage and go into San Diego for a few days and give her a little something she wants before I head back to the dunes for vets weekend?

what's up yo?been  running 2 of your tips on my x3 for 3 years now and gotta say thay are the best....not a single issue.love them.🤙

I see the after math of that little nugget  being 🥵 then 🤢 then 💩 and the rest of the day 🔥 🕳️!! ill pass on them.

sorry for your loss...stay strong brother!! R.I.P 🙏

so when pulling into camp do you just randomly find a spot and drop the landing gear or do you have a certain position you face your camper or camper door?being on the pads may be a little harder to get into a favorite position depending on the pad and how many in your group are there fist.i tend to try and get my door facing east so as mid afternoon hits and we hit peak heat I put out my awning as  the sun is close to directly above you and as it passes over  the camper will cast the shadow the rest of the afternoon it don't always work but I try.

done the pads a few time and have now transitioned to the washes and I gotta tell you guys I absolutely love it and will never go back to the pads...small dunes rock on a quad, the dust is bad but I stay at wash 1 and find it better then deeper in the washes, parking on a big weekend is crazy but it just goes with it.also I have 2 trailers in Glamis storage so pulling back and forth over 78 is better then running up and down 78.i find it nice to be close to the dunes and that's it...I just love the washes...each there own.and lets not forget about cel service between pads and the washes.

I loved that first video.  Can we ship our buggy's to Peru?  

https://www.facebook.com/617883896/videos/10157392079408897/

 

them guys in Peru sure like to dive straight over the edge of some big dunes.

I just had a pole building built in my back yard and from floor to bottom of rafters is 14.3 and I could not do a 14' door I had to go 12''.I did not care as im not putting my toy hauler in it anyway but did want a 14' door....then the garage door custom crap and the Waite I said the hell with it its not worth it.cheaper to let the camper sit outside and let the roof dry rot and in 8 years worry about replacing it if you still own it.

what's the hight of your rafters?that's gonna play a factor as well if it can be done or not.

not much or anything..tripped on the last step yesterday while leaving the job with a bundle of 3/8 rod over my shoulder and got jacked up.twisted my back some from the bundle on the shoulder but my right foot is bad so just going easy around the house...sucks.wanted to work on the camper this weekend cleaning the inside and getting it ready for her October 24th trip across the country.

As I know it, that the biggest bowl.  On a full moon, everyone cuts their headlights and runs the bowl several times.  We've done it on night rides several times.  Fun as hell but scary as well.

sounds dangerous......and I like it. MMEEOOWWW!
