Thanks for the detailed response dreadlocks! I think the BMV might be an upgrade I do down the road a bit. My current weekend project is hopefully getting the solar installed. Anyone have insight on solar controller location for SUV use? From what I understand the controller should be close...

Thanks dreadlocks, I am leaning back towards the LVD as it is more useful...and actually available. I just did a quick check on the Victron battery monitor, they look pricey. Is there a specific model you recommend? Seems like a good upgrade down the road possibly. Thanks again all!

Yes I currently have one battery, the plan is to add a dual battery setup. I have solar on the way now as well. I have contacted a US Dometic dealer and they cannot get the coolpower inline voltage cutoff. That does seem like the easiest way to get a cutoff for the fridge...if I can actually...

So trying to locate the Dometic part and I'm not certain its available in the U.S., only shows up on their website when Europe is selected. Hopefully U.S. dealers have them...

Thanks again for the replies, that Dometic Voltage monitor is pretty slick, might go that route... I plan on solar and a second battery, if fitting the second battery was easier it would come first. Thanks again all!!

dreadlocks you are the man! Sounds like I know what I need. I don't think I need more than the smallest offering but maybe I do? With the low power draw of the fridge, and little else being run off it, I don't know if a 100 amp is worth it...open to opinions.

Thanks dreadlocks! This seems like a great option. That link is great and the cutoff voltage options seem perfect to me. The "dumb" one seems easy enough to operate, not sure I need the BT function via the App. I did notice where it mentions the unit needing to be mounted in a "well...

Thanks all for the replies, much appreciated! A little more background may be helpful. This would be used on the main starting battery for the truck, with full-time 100W solar being added soon as well. A second battery is in the plans but that would come last. I was leaning towards the Blue...

I have an older hand me down Edgestar FP630 63 qt. fridge. It keeps my food and beer cold but have an issue. I have recently found out, via Edgestar, that there is no low voltage cutoff. I have obviously killed the battery and started digging and instead of buying a fridge have found some...

Sorry haven't checked this thread as it fell pretty quick with no replies. The front bumper is custom/homebuilt. Didn't really like what was currently available. Either too big and heavy or just gave the truck a fat lip. Wheels are standard Method NV's, honestly didn't know there was an HD...

I have been debating posting a build thread but after a few years I figure why not. Maybe someone can gain something from my experience. I purchased an 01' Ford Excursion, V10 with 48K miles a few years ago and have been enjoying the fullsize life for a while now. The reason for purchase...
