    Added an ARB socket that the plug can thread into for a solid connection. I also shortened the cord so no excess hanging about. Very happy with the outcome.

    Thanks, it was a fun one and now I can just forget about the fridge. No need to carry it out to the truck for each trip. I’m just gonna leave it in there and turn it on as necessary.

    I stole that idea from a jeep i saw pull up on one - it worked great. The straps have to be long enough to be under the rear tire before the front tire hits the ramp.

    Edit: my apologies for whatever that cancer was that i wrote above. I've corrected it.

    This is one of the more unnecessary purchases I’ve made but my single blue strap holding the fridge down makes me mad every time I see it.

    Picked up some 12 gallon totes for this spot and I must say, they fit quite nicely.

    I like those tough totes, always annoying to break the clear plastic ones. I've got an inverter welder, 3 grinders, 2 helmets, a shield, and various crap in a 27 gallon tough tote thats convenient for transporting everything from MD back home to VA

    Between these and the RTT, I really don’t have much more to carry in the bed anymore. It’s nice though, gives me a bit more freedom to bring a canopy, table, etc if I want to. These will house food and cooking stuff, misc little supplies. I really don’t bring much camping to be honest.


    I like them too. I have larger ones in the bed and they’ve held up great.
