Where did you get the molle attachment for the back panel?

 

I've used these on gun cases to get through the airport. Seemed pretty sturdy.

 

Yeah. I've had the 120s on my hi-lift mounts for 2 years without issue.

 

Just seeing this so maybe someone else already suggested it but I picked up a Solo Bonfire, somewhat for this purpose. It's a little large to tote around but as long as there's room in your bed it's not a bad solution. Comes with a carrying bag. Smaller than a washing machine tub.

To be perfectly honest though I have yet to actually use it in this manner. Gets stored in the garage and have only used it in the backyard a few times.

@docloco are you still doing the rear molle panel group buys?

 

Yes sir.

@martinreigel the link above is the source for the rear molle panel. Screw that ebay shit.

 

I got the green light, baby, I got to be movin' outta here . . . .



Utah sounds good, been home too long.

 

15 bucks at garage sale. It'll clean up nice.

Ya this being an international trip for us space is at a premium. My buddy who's coming happens to be a machinist so he's just gonna make something that should work out well and pack nicely

 

Hey guys, I got a question. How important is it to have a fridge/freezer combo for 2 week trips? Has anyone ever got just a fridge unit, but then wished they had got a combo? How long you think I could keep some good steak in the fridge at 35° before it wasn't any good any more? Can I just get a fridge and be ok?

 

This is the dometic CFX 50W. it's a fridge OR a freezer. The next size is a 65 and that can come in a dual zone, fridge AND a freezer. It was definitely bigger. I've noticed in my single zone if I set it around 30°f, things will freeze at the bottom but not at the top. Outside ambient temperature is a huge factor. I have to play with it a little, but can make it work.

 

I was so hoping someone would say this. Thanks guys, that answers a lot. I am going from an ice chest guy to having two fridges. I hope my mind can handle it. My weaco/dometic cdf-11 will be here tuesday

 

I have the 65 and it works like a champ. I set it for 9* and it keeps the frozen froze and the rest nice and cold. Just have to keep in mind that cold drops to the bottom and pack it accordingly.

 

First Utah trip for this '95 Eurovan. I'm still in cell range of I70 because I got a CEL after fueling up in Green River. I doubt it's anything catastrophic, maybe an O2 sensor, something that can wait. Coolant is good, engine oil is good, trans fluid is good, it's purring along well. I'll backtrack to Green River, maybe 40 miles, have the code pulled. This is OBD1 so I'll see what happens.

Got 21.8mpg over the I70 passes into Green River, 361 miles/16.556g on a 21g fuel tank. Safeway 91 Octane.

3-way fridge works fine on DC and LP, haven't tried AC yet. Pic of the bed under the poptop - the front support panel and cushion can be removed (which I should have done) to provide more headroom.

Picked up some rocks to level it and sure enough there was baby scorpions hiding underneath them.

 

I have no experience with those things at all, so you set it to 9 degrees and it doesn't freeze everything in there?

Yes they have low voltage cut off, but no I can't split my batteries up. I just hooked up the dual battery system a few weeks ago. I am just taking baby steps towards the solar and charger types and amp and daylight hours and keeping the panels cool and DC to DC chargers and amp hours and I need a drink
