Blue Sea Power Outlet in Bed of Tacoma

Has anyone else mounted the Blue Sea power outlet or something similar in the bed of your Tacoma? I'm considering this to power a fridge in the bed. But I'd like to see some examples of how others have done this and where/how the mounted the outlet.

I know this is currently on backorder. But I'm considering this setup from Off-Grid Engineering.

 

@Acerwin has a Bussmann Relay Box in the bed cubby.

 

@ETXTacoma installed one of these i believe...

 

Correct. I installed this https://www.**************/products/oge-blue-sea-auxiliary-power-outlet-system

 

Do you have photos of where you installed it? How has it been working for you?

 

This is where I mounted it.

So far it has worked really well. I use it to power my shell lighting, and camp lighting, and to charge phones or such when at camp.

 

Here some pics

 

I have the Off Grid version mounted in my small cubby door on the passenger side of the bed.

 

I'm curious why you mounted this to the outside of the cubby door and not the inside?

 

What is this and what does it do?

 

It is already a waterproof setup, and by mounting it in the door, it is easy to access the backside if needed. Plus I don't have to take the door off to hook stuff up to it all the time.

 

Why did you choose to mount it on the passenger side? I'm contemplating the driver side simply because that's the side the battery is on.

 

Gotcha. Thanks man.

 

I put a single Bluesea 12v socket in the door of the compartment next to the invertor. Nothing fancy, ran it off the battery. Most important thing is to put the fuse close to the battery.

I plan to redo the wiring eventually when I installed a circuit breaker and aux fuse box.

 

Inside the Cubby is the Bussmann RTMR Relay box(link in my sig), and on the outside of the door is USB, 12v outlet, battery guage, and switch.

 

Slick little mod. Could see that being pretty useful.

 

Sorry, but my understanding of electrical systems is just not up to par to understand what the Bussmann RTMR Relay box does. Way over my head.

 

The Bussmann Relay box is a Power managment system. Pics and more details in link in my sig.

 

I attempted to read/understand what it is. Still over my head. I have no idea what it does.

 

Not my pictures, but I saved these so I can copy the install.
