    Somewhere between these 2 setups would be ideal... Put dual deep cycles up front near the cab with a static cubby for sleeping bag/air mat storage, then a slider cubby for all the camping gear and stove, and then a fridge offset to one side and hidden air compressor and hose on the other side. It would be dammed near perfect, and put a solar panel on the top of the shell to passively charge the battery bank, as well as isolators to charge it while driving

    Went camping with my family up in northern Newfoundland for three nights. I'm super glad I bought a shell. Finally got to really use it :)

    [​IMG]
    The windoors worked excellent. I'm really glad I got this feature. It made getting certain gear out of the bed really easy.

    [​IMG]
    And here is some of the gear. You can fit a ton of stuff in the back. I had no trouble taking more stuff.

    Nice shell. You might want to put some 3M clearbra on your bedsides where belt-buckles and whatnot will rub when people reach into those windoors.

    I don't have a build thread.

    It's a Dometic CF-18. Not very big, but enough for my needs. The important thing is that it uses a Danfoss compressor, known to be reliable and not suck too much juice. Google it and you'll find plenty of info.

    The fridge comes with a 12 V power cord which plugs into a standard 12 V receptacle. I run it up to the battery box that you see in the front of the bed. The battery box has a pair of Blue Sea 12 V locking receptacles. The battery box is connected to the truck's electrical system through a solenoid that provides isolation when the truck is not running. It also has two pigtails, one for charging with an AC charger and the other with a portable solar rig. It also has a voltmeter with a momentary switch. All of the connections are fused. It looks like this:
