    New Turtleback Getaway Owner Question - Kitchen Prep Space and Fridge Storage

    I think you can cloak yourself, but you can’t avoid seeing other people’s stuff. What I should have done is create a separate account from my old one and used a throwaway email address. That would have. Even smarter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Turtleback Getaway Owner Question - Kitchen Prep Space and Fridge Storage

    Congrats on your new Turtleback. There’s a pretty active forum on Facebook with a lot of great ideas and helpful people. I wish it wasn’t on FB, but it is what it is… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Turtleback Getaway Owner Question - Kitchen Prep Space and Fridge Storage

    Maybe they will let you upgrade to an Expedition. The front compartment will store a fridge. Much bigger/heavier trailer though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Turtleback Getaway Owner Question - Kitchen Prep Space and Fridge Storage

    Not frequently but I have, depending on circumstances. I’d say 85% of the time I just back the Jeep up to face away from my galley and create a “kitchen triangle” with the stove, sink, and fridge. With the table off to the side opposite the tailgate. Works well for me. Most people I’ve talked...

    New Turtleback Getaway Owner Question - Kitchen Prep Space and Fridge Storage

    Fridge: For a myriad of reasons, I find it much more convenient to have the fridge in my Jeep on a slide. 1. There is no place for a fridge in the Getaway 2. Having the fridge in the tow vehicle means you don’t need to cut vent holes in the trailer (letting in dust). 3. Having the fridge in...

    Engel MT35F Freezing when on low

    Just went through this with my Dometic. The fridge has to use some sort of sensor to determine the temp inside the box. That sensor tells the control board the temp so that the control board can look at your desired temp and tell the compressor whether to cycle or not. That sensor is likely...

    Turtleback trailer lighting

    As the beneficiary of many other peoples’ wisdom and experience over the years it is always gratifying to be able to contribute something back! Good luck with the project. The lights are really nice. I ended up using them to make a pull-out overhead lighting system for my rear galley that...

    How to swap out the thermistor in your Dometic CFX

    I used the one listed in the eBay link above. It fixed the issue, but I have found that the temp is now 7º colder in the box than the readout indicates, (it is consistent throughout the range). I never tested the accuracy before, but this is something I can live with until I get the factory...

    How to swap out the thermistor in your Dometic CFX

    If you're having problems with temperature control, you probably have a bad thermistor. Apparently they are a weak link on Dometic fridges and have been for many years. Some last 10+ years; mine lasted about 4 before it crapped out. Luckily the CFX fridges require a lot less invasive...

    Dometic CFX50 freezing everything

    Following up on this. After spending hours on the phone waiting, and spamming emails to every possible contact within Dometic, I finally found a SUPER helpful engineer in VA who gave me the part number for the Thermistor for the CFX50: 4450001983. A DuckDuckGo search found me a couple of...

    Dometic CFX50 freezing everything

    Interesting. I'm wondering if its the thermistor or the control board itself. Here's my thinking: If the thermistor were bad, it would report the wrong internal temp (usually higher than actual) and the control board would cycle the fridge until it hit the target temp. However, it would...

    Dometic CFX50 freezing everything

    Yea that’s the next step but I can tell you from observation that when I set the temp to the highest possible (50°F) it freezes everything solid. Definitely something wrong with the control board I guess… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dometic CFX50 freezing everything

    I’ve had this fridge for a couple years and it has been flawless. I set it at 39° and nothing freezes and my lithium pack will run it for 3 days no problem. I just got back from a trip where it suddenly decided to freeze everything solid (including my beers!). After one night it drained my...

    Real world experience with AEV High Capacity JKU springs (or other HD springs)

    Following. I’m running RK 2.5 (which is more like 3.5 front and 2.25 rear). Interested to see how the AEVs suit your need. I’m running a similarly heavy setup but 35’s on stock Rubicon axles with MCE flares so I don’t need the lift you do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
