The Lair

My brother in law drives over the road for UPS. He uses something very similar so he can meal prep for his 5 days and not have to eat truck stop/fast food as much. He has been very happy with it. If I ever go back to tent camping, I would invest in one too!

 

It's one of the best purchases I've made. I use mine a lot. It's also my beer cooler in my man cave and the garage.

 

Bike modz, radiator braces and ultra custom radiator hose protection. It’s a known problem on some of the newer bikes so I added a 3d printed protection sleeve as well as a slew of zip ties to keep the engine from puncturing that hose. Apparently they lowered the rad an inch and clocked the engine forward, creating this issue.

 

Are you me? I have been putting that off for 130K for the exact same reason. Even have the plug and everything ready to go.

Second the K&N cabin filter! Makes it so easy.

 

Yeah, sounds about par for the course for KTM. I loved my Duke, but the way KTM operates irked me enough to change brands.

 

I’m pretty impressed with the fit and finish of this thing!! I’m not going to turn it on yet so the refrigerant can settle, but my first impressions are good. My only gripe so far is the lack of decent carrying handles. Other than that, this 25L will be plenty for my needs.

 

I built a prototype a few years ago. Been trying to convince them to do it.

 

I remember you telling me that. It would be awesome if that could happen. A smaller like, 10L-15L one could be a perfect worksite lunchbox type of thing.

 

Just get a Dewalt power bank and plug it in.

 

Is this what you're talking about?

If so, I don't think it would work that great. It outputs AC power so converting from DC -> AC -> DC would just be pretty inefficient.

 

Yeah, that sounds like losses everywhere between battery and fridge.

 

This thing is fucking awesome. As long as it remains reliable, this was a good purchase. I’m running it off of my EcoFlow battery pack and after 8 hours it’s still at 94% capacity. That was with prechilling it on 120v in the house and opening the lid every 30-60 minutes or so.


When I charge the EcoFlow off of the tundra, it has 90 watts in flow and a 30 watt draw when the fridge is running, so it’s net positive and will still charge the battery pack. Pretty solid overall.

 

Didn't know if the fridge had an ac option or not. But you could get one of those power wheels adapters and just wire it to a Female DC plug.

 

Ready to party.

 

Enjoy dude! Hella jelly.

 

A couple of clips from the weekend, the two times I laid the bike down. I have more footage to go through later once I’m home.

Looks like it was a blast! Its also good that you can still hang with your truck buddies even though you lost 2 of your wheels

 

Yeah! It was a perfect trip, minus the weather. Two of us on bikes and three trucks. We didn’t stick with them the whole time but we’d go rip around and then come back and harass them a bit. It was nice in the evening, we got cleaned up and then rode passenger and spotted.
