    I have had mine plugged in for almost 3 weeks in house and it goes up and down 37-41 at a 40 setting on eco mode.

    In the future I plan to move to the bed but for now doing a quick and dirty direct 12V setup. Haven’t tested fridge yet but tested with a HAM radio. Should be good as I used a similar setup as @TK7692 and will sit behind the drivers seat for now.

    Solar setup parts have started to arrive as well! Thai will help ensure I’m charged while off the grid.

    I'm curious about something. Does this fridge use the same plug as the ARB's? Was thinking you could use one of the ARB locking plugs under the drivers seat to plug it in and have it locked with no chance of it coming out of the plug.

    Damn that looks like a much better spot than the 2-3rd gen double cab folded seat area. Great little spot.

    Nice, planning on similar when it move to the bed. Did you just run + and - to the rear from the battery/fuse?

    Really need a bigger battery too.
