    Fridge is in
    I wanted to be able to use the fridge in my truck and the wifes car so I cut off the end of the power cable, spliced in an extension, and wired it to the blue sea box. Now it has the reach to fully slide out and can be disconnected from the trailer and used elsewhere quickly and easily.
    Time will tell on the fridge but it seems solid so far.
    Cooled down quickly
    I have the smittybuilt cover on the way which should help cut down on power usage.

    Cut in the "sink" and added a drain hose to a 5gal bucket to keep the ground from getting soggy

    That Costway cooler appears to be significantly more affordable than some of the other similar name-brand options, how do you like it so far?

    So far so good but not a ton of real life usage yet. Cooled quickly and seems built well but time will tell. I have heard/read enough positive that it was worth a shot for me

    Love the build!!!

    What are the size dimensions of your main box?

    How did you determine what height to go with?

    Thx.

    Does the trailer not get excessively hot for the fridge or electronics?

    Great looking trailer!
