    Will this work?

    I'm confused, how are you going to use a solar charger without a battery or a solar panel? You will need at least a battery to maintain a constant voltage for the refrigerator. And then some way to keep it charged. A solar panel and a charge controlled will do that for you. I use 120w folding...

    Do I need a dc2dc unit?

    There is nothing better than a DC to DC charger (Renogy) if you need to charge your batteries while traveling and the weather is not cooperating for your solar panels.

    Sides are on...Bumper in place....Need to look at this bumper again when fenders are on. Might need more of a bumper shortening. I left it wide to add some protection to the trailer lights.

    I was recently talking with the head service manager at my Jeep/RAM dealership. I asked what was the worse vehicle to buy. He said, without a doubt, anything with the 3.0 diesel to avoid.
