    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    X2 I cant believe you had that many problems. not trying to doubt your skills but I would bet something was wrong on your end with setting up the 12v side. I thought I had a broken unit also when my dual yellow tops would show 12v and the fridge would be turning off. After running a 6gauge(i...

    Norcold de-251d

    From What I can see in pics its an RV style one. Dont know how effieiect the 12v side will be. We have something simular in our tent trailer but we only run our on propane or 110v. They are not super portable like the edgestar or arb....

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    Huh.. interesting. yea its funny how they say $500 on sale, when I paid $380 shipped on mine. At $500 Id be very tempted to go with an arb or other. But keep your hopes up, They have ran out of edgestar fridges before and sold simular alternatives for times up to 4 months. Im sure its just a...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    That was just a guess, Its been like 90F+ out here for past weeks. With a Black 4runner all sealed up it gets crazy hot inside. I was thinking same kinda thing with the computer fan idea. They actually make a few 120mm fans(same size as one in fridge) that come with a controller knob to control...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

I want to figure out a way for the heat to vent without leaving the vehicle to open for theft. i have been pondering a tube from...

Looks like Ill have to get some of that tape as well, Im going camping this next weekend ill have to get it setup before so I can...

    1lb hammock!

    I just started backpacking and at the end of the day a simple light weight hammock would have been amazing. I was stuck sitting on the ground using my pack as a back rest. this next trip the ultra light hammock is coming along and ill report back how much its worth the space in the pack.

    DC Power HP Alternator

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    This is a common issue that most people just learn to deal with. First off how long was the fridge running on the battery only? Are you using the stock 12v plug? most of these fridges shut off around 11v instead of the 10.5 advertised. On my 4runner If I use the rear 12v plug in the back of the...

    1lb hammock!

    Looks interesting but doesn't seem like it has any benefit over the models currently available. Especially at that price. I bought the ultra light from Grand trunk for $20. It works for a rest hammock but i cant sleep in it. At the price hes asking Id go with hennessy or grand trunk.

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    For me it does this when I hit the set button twice. hit it once and your set temp will show up and blink, hit it again and mine goes to -1. I wonder if its a rapid set feature, If so id love it set it to 35 instead.

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    So i ran a new wire. I have a 4gage wire running under my seat. I ran a 6 Gage( I know it's over kill) along the panels and wired it directly to the factory cig plug in the back. I'll run some test and report back. Voltage was exactly the same as the battery at the plug, but the wires were...

    Cheap Fridge <$400 shipped

    No my battery is good, its a new yellow top. volts were just down since the fridge was running all night, when cars running its over 13v. fridge is supposed to work until 10.5 volts before shutoff and low volts light turns on. I went on a trip and got some good testing done. fridge always...
