    FS: Alpicool Fridges with upgraded LG Compressors (Edmonton, AB, Canada)

    With many imported fridge brands, they have unknown compressor suppliers from batch to batch. With that said, I wanted to ensure quality and LG has a great compressor. As such these all come with LG and as such a 3-year manufacturer's warranty on the compressor versus 1 year on the unknown...

    Northern Teardrop Trailer X North 53 Overland - Semi-Custom Northern Teardrop Trailer Build - Alberta, Canada

    Thanks I ordered my NATO jerry can holders from Kakadu. I looked at that exact jockey wheel, but decided against a wheel at the front for a few reasons. I can always change it down the road. But if I do change I will get that one, love that they have a black version too;)

    Looking for a new awning for our semi-custom, off-rad teardrop trailer build. I think we will be going with a traditional, rectangle awning as we already have coverage at the galley with the flip-up back door to the trailer. I was considering the ARB Aluminum Housing Awning 2500. The best...

    Good idea about the wood tray. We will actually have something in the front though for that. The trailer will already have corner jacks :-). 2000lb per corner.
