I wanted to install a hatch behind the trax table.

Spent 3 days painting it.

Then planned the cut.

Made the cut

Performed the install.

The final product. Had to shim out the table 1/8”

Next step will be a cabinet behind. Stay tuned.

That does look good!

As a joke, you need a "Joes Tacos" sign cut from vinyl decal material stuck on the inside of the hatch readable when open.
With a squeeze bottle of taco sauce and a napkin dispenser on the shelf...
Food truck style!

Not against it. Lol. There should be tacos served from the hatch. Lol. I like the napkin dispenser idea.

So we finished building the box, I painted it and coated it with bedliner, which is the next pics.
Mounted

The plan is to put all my kitchen stuff in the box.

I will take the box out again and add carpet, but it’s serviceable for this weekend.

So I ordered one of the last of the Pelfreybilt bumpers from BAMF.

Added some rust conversion and primer coats.

Covered it in bedliner.

Then it was time to demo the partially trail demoed bumper.

Zip ties a milk crate to a small jack and precariously balances everything into position alone.

But it work. Bumper is mounted and I survived.

Lights and license plate to follow. Also have to wire in the sensors.

I can, but it provides an instantaneous number as opposed to a totalized amount. Other than that, I'm very happy with the menu and clarity of the charge controller. I'd definitely recommend Renogy panels and their Rover controller, though, give me a year to solidify that.
I have a 66W compressor on my fridge that in theory needs to run 50% of the time, so this ends up being it will require 66 amp hours a day to maintain cool. My batteries isolate and my 55AH battery won't provide 66AH. Batteries should never lose more than 50% charge, so I require a minimum of 132 amp hours, add a few LED lights and such and round up a bit and I figure a 200AH battery is just about perfect.

For pulling the initial heat out, keep some water bottles in the freezer at home, chuck them in everywhere, should help.

i'm looking into the battery issue again. so i'm seeing the 200aH battery, and that is total three battery? or you switched one out?

3 the 200Ah is a game changer, probably don't need the other.
