    Any of you guys running this set up in your beds? Picture is just off the internet. Mine is from Blue Sea. If you are running this do you have the volt meter on a switch or do you leave it on all the time? I am curious how much it would drain a G31 battery when the truck is not on. Thanks!

    Are your sockets on a switch as well or are they hot all the time? I found out my fridge draws some high AH the would almost max out a switch therefore requiring me to add a relay if I were to put it on switch. So I am thinking of just having the sockets be hot all the time since the fridge will only be plugged in when needed.

    I have a National Luna Battery Monitor with the LEDs, it stays on all the time and does not affect the battery at all.

    You should be good.

    Hey guys thanks for the quick response and info. Much appreciated! Oh and @cmack thanks for that pic. That is one location that is being considered for this and it might just be the winner! ;)

    I have this and the whole thing is powered 24/7. I've had no issues with the OEM original battery but my truck is my DD so it gets used daily.
