    I just got done installing a 100ah DC-DC dual battery system for the 23 SR. It has all the benefits of a full dual battery system installed in the vehicle but can be easily moved to another vehicle or used on jobsite. It'll be used to power the fridge, weboost, and diesel heater.

    Wow, nice job - you’ve got a lot going on there. Do you have a build page for this? Parts list? TIA

    After some time in use let us know how it is working out for you. I can identify everything major in the box, except the red box with the black endcaps. I suspect it is an inverter, but everything you mentioned you wish to power can be powered with 12VDC, i.e. no reason to convert to 120VAC.

    What type of frig are you running?

    I may do a similar, but permanent installation with 2 208Ah LiFePo4 in the future as well.

    Inverter looks like an older HF Cen-Tech inverter. There’s a plug looping around to the lower left front of the box.

    Yes, that's correct. It's from an older build and I just threw it in to charge my laptop.

    Yes it's an inverter for powering laptops and charging drones. The fridge is an 80 liter euhomy. We just started our first trip and everything is charging well so far.

    I'll do a Youtube video once I test more extensively.
