Not from the lid, but the bottom of the fridge. I kept playing around with it last night and it wasn't until I removed the fridge from the car that I noticed the QR code on the bottom. Scanned that and was able to unlock it with the 619 app. Not sure why Dometic would lock you out of the...

Anyone know how to do a factory reset on. CFX3 45? Tried the button sequence in the manual but it’s not doing anything. I’m currently stuck with a QR code on the display and nothing I do will get rid of it. Tried unplugging, all combinations of button pushes, etc, but it pops up again. Even...

I’m having the same issue. Haven’t used the fridge in about 6 months. My app was working before but it disappeared, so I re downloaded it again and nothing happens. It shows as connected through WiFi and Bluetooth, but nothing happens all I can do is dismiss the connection screen. I looked...

I also think the best option is to trade it in. I also went through a similar decision, and if your goal is to tackle harder trails the Subaru will always be limited in its capabilities. The main drawbacks are always going to be the lack of low range, the independent suspension, and the limits...

A Subaru would fit most of those requirements if he's willing to leave one of the kids at home, otherwise it's too small. With 2 out of the 3 kids in car seats a 3rd row is almost a necessity, and if you want any cargo capacity for camping you'd need something larger than a standard SUV. I...

For a primary light, I'd recommend an 18650, USB rechargeable headlamp. Whatever a flashlight will do, a headlamp will do better. I'd recommend something with multiple brightness levels, capable of 1000+ lumens or more. You don't always need to run at the highest brightness level, but it's...

I've towed with a GX460, which is essentially a V8 4runner. If I was planning on towing more than a few times a year, I'd probably get something bigger. Even though it's technically rated for 6500 lbs, you wouldn't want to tow anywhere close to that for long periods of time. Your mileage will...

Just picked up the CFX3 45L fridge during the labor day sale. I've had it for about 2 days and I'm already having problems with it. I tested it on AC for a day and it worked fine. Today I moved it in the car and seems like there are a lot of issues. It's running on a 100Ah LifeP04 battery...

As a RTT owner, I'd say definitely go with a ground tent unless you have a trailer to put the RTT on. A RTT offers no advantages when base camping and doing day trips, but has a lot of disadvantages.

I have the Renogy 30A dual input controller. I posted some of my thoughts in a previous thread somewhere on this forum. There were a few reasons I went with a dual input controller 1. Space. Originally I purchased a DC/DC charger and solar MPPT. This required extra space under an already...

Is this tool kit for roadside repairs or basic maintenance? I'm assuming since it's going to be kept in the car it's mainly for emergency repairs. In that case I'd just go with very simple basic tools, you're not gonna be changing a head gasket or swapping axles on the side of the highway. I...

x2. What’s her skill level? And what’s her motivation to fix it? A fully stocked garage won’t help if she doesn’t know how to or want to fix it. In most cases for a young college student a Leatherman tool and AAA card would be a lot more useful than a tool kit that has a higher probability of...

GX used to be a better value. You'd get the V8, luxury features, and usually a better maintained/less abused vehicle for a lower price compared to the 4runner. But seems like the secret is out and the GX resale value has shot up significantly in the last few years where the prices are now...

Because controversial titles get emotional reactions, and reactions get views. It's the internet One thing I've noticed was when RTT started to become popular, there were a lot of opinions on them, and the most vocal ones were from people who had never owned or used a RTT. Whenever the topic...

This is what the app screen looks like. It just gives basic information like how much power (volts + amps) are coming from each source and how much is going to each battery. There are little arrow between each icon which show the direction of flow similar to the dash of an EV car. However...
