It's not clear to me where these parts are in your frame. Knowing that might help someone figure out how to reenforce/redesign them.

The fridge manufacturer should have documented the minimum ventilation requirements. The simplest is to follow those. In my case, the builder didn't provide enough ventilation (not enough space above the fridge) and the fridge efficiency would drop off significantly in hot weather, as the space...

The exact truck you are planning on using is important. Payloads vary all over the map. A quick check on Ford's web site shows a new F150 XLT 6.5ft box SuperCrew having a 2000lb payload. I'd expect it to easily handle 800lbs setting on the bed.

Your pictures show that they're spending tons of time and effort machining custom hinges, corners, connectors, etc. I suspect that's part of why they are having a hard time getting off the ground. Stuff like that takes time & money. But I really like some of their design & features. The...

It's a Hardsider- the hinges and extrusions are unique to them. They've built more than just the prototypes - you could see that in the recent shop tour video on YouTube. It would be great though, if there were owners willing to post their impressions of a delivered unit - good or bad.

Seems like from the issues you described starting in this post, it's basically a prototype of something that could be decent if they get the bugs worked out. But the lack of communication and misrepresentation of the product make me glad that Amex approved my request for a chargeback.

Try e-mail directly to Sam Pellerito - sam@....... For me, phone calls, texts and voicemails went unanswered. I eventually got him to respond - after I did a chargeback on my down payment. 😞
