Hardwiring ARB fridge plug

Oops... easy mistake to make. Get one in there soon!

 

There’s a 750 amp Blue Seas ANL fuse that I put on my truck for my winch cables- it looks like this:

And the cover for it:

$26 Blue Sea Systems 5005 ANL Fuse Block with Insulating Cover, 35-300 Amp, 32V DC

If not using it or a winch, your Bussman circuit breaker is perfect for most applications.

 

Prolly need closer to 250 if I want to safely self jump start, but yeah, ill be looking into that for sure. Thanks, man! And sorry for the thread jack, OP. But hopefully we all learned a little.

 

Well worth the money....

 

Yeah, I'm still learning so I appreciate all the info.

I went to Walmart and bought a 680 Watt 8-Gauge amp kit and used the 16.8 ft power and 2 ft ground wire. The 8 gauge wire fit perfectly through the water drain holes that were in the bottom of the bed cubby so I didn't even have to drill. The hardest part was trying to find a place to attach the ground. I found a bolt that the preattached ground eyelet would fit on but I'm not sure if it will have a good grounding surface. I'm supposed to get the rest of the parts tomorrow so I'll hook up the wires I ran today and see if it works out.

Will a 8 gauge power wire be sufficient? There is a fuse just off the battery and one built into the plug/USB panel I ordered. Figured it might be overkill but better safe than sorry.

 

If you Google 12v Wire Amp Chart you can find things like the below images. You're prolly fine up to around 25 or 30 amps. Fridge, cell phones, your LED lights, won't be a problem for it.

 

Thanks, I actually found that in a different thread after I posted in this one.
