    Trying to set this up:

    -camper shell
    -Dometic CFX3 35
    -Dometic hardwire kit (optional)
    -EcoFlow River 2 Pro
    -Renogy 100w flexible solar panel, adhere to top of shell using 3M VHB
    -can't find 400w anytime harness; out of stock for a month

    What's the best way to set this up?
    I've come up with two ideas:

    1.
    -mount solar facing forward. Drop wires between shell and cab
    -remove rear seat panel (passenger) find grommet. Poke hole or slice cut
    -cut solar wires, route through grommet, re-crimp them (connector is too big to pass through)
    -place fridge and EcoFlow in cab, with solar and cig lighter charging it
    Pros: Fridge in cab has vertical room to open lid

    2.
    -mount solar facing forward and sneak wires into front of shell, might not be possible
    -or mount facing backward, wires dangling ugly, run into window seal; might be too thick or cause water leak
    -run Dometic hardwire kit (12v) from battery into bed
    Cons: Hardwire kit is constant power even with key off, EcoFlow could drain battery unless you constantly get in the shell and unplug/re-connect it

    minimum concerns:
    -enough airflow for fridge
    -temp insulation; not sure if cab or bed/shell is better insulated
