Hey folks, I recently saw a nice 814D single cab Allrad 4x4 for sale. It seems like an ideal platform for fullsize (but not huge) vehicle. I have a 4x4 sprinter in the US, and it's nice but not great off road. I could also use an expedition platform in SE Asia where I work a lot of field...

Yeah, I went through Todd Trudeau on Facebook for free shipping and 10% off.

Looking for the best price I can get for an EX75 or EX95, greedily wondering if there is anyone here who offers any discounts to forum members? Cheers, Alex

Yes, the Engel is the way I'm leaning. I wish those putzes would release the platinum series in 120v land, already. That said, dometic CFXs have come a long way, and the snomasters have almost twice the insulation. Those advances are why I am wondering if anyone has any experience comparing...

Snomaster is really picking up steam. They are originally an Australian company, I believe (or S African?) BUT, they publish no hard data, and haven't been included in any good, exhaustive tests. I would love to learn more. They sure look like edgestar/whynter/etc. But claim their own 66w...

Focused on what? You're talking about bananas and ARB models and how to place things in it as a fridge and the Engel mt45. Original question lists 3 models, and their use as a freezer. Again, I already have a fridge.

Focus, guys. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but we're getting derailed here.

I already have the ARB 50l as a fridge. I find the dairy section to be worthless for spoilable goods. But, maybe as a freezer that part would act as a fridge. Like I said though, I'm looking for a freezer. I'd love someone to chime in with snomaster numbers. All I hear is anecdotal "they're...

I'm still having trouble deciding. I'm a field biologist in the SW, so hot hot summers, generally warm winters with so so sun. I have 981w on my sprinter 4x4, but a lot of that is earmarked for the window unit AC I want to install. So efficiency is important. Cost is all within a few hundred of...

Little late here, did anyone stop by the Engel booth and if so was there any word on the platinum series fridge/freezers?

So these have been out in Australia for years. Wondering when we'll see the platinum series thermostat controlled units come to the US. I didn't go to OE, but I'm wondering if anyone saw them at their booth and got any word on when they would debut the line. Not sure how much longer I'm willing...

Hey folks, going to buy 6 660AH 2V lifelines for my Sprinter with 981W of PV up top. I'm pretty dialed in on the solar aspect of it, but looking for a good solution to charge the bank off the stock alternator. I had a Samlex ACR 160 in my last rig, and was happy with it. A 60A DC DC charger...

Hey folks, I'll have 3 327w PV mods on the roof of my sprinter. Each will have a 20A inline fuse and a go to a Victron 150/85 MC4. Should I plan on the max amps of ~82 at 12V and get an 80A breaker? Can I size slightly higher incase I upgrade the panels to 360w/370w if I can ever source them...

I have given up looking for a single device, as I'm not sure it exists. This Isotherm thing sounds interesting. I will look into it. Thanks!

I already have a maxxair exhaust fan and a some 12V stuff I'd like to keep. How inefficient are converters? Also, with 24V, how do I charge off the alternator and top off the starter with solar? EDIT- research tells me they are really inefficient and mostly step down by dissipating V as heat...

I just saw this and was going to jump in to say: most fridges/freezers, the air compressor, and inverters (Though not my 400W Pure Sine, apparently) run off 24V. I don't believe the rest of my accessories would, though. Would it be wiser to run in 24V with a step down converter for...

I have a Samlex in my current machine. It works well.

Hey folks, Sprinter build is getting started. I can source some 215w sunpower panels (but I'd totally go for some 345/360/370w if anyone has a source for Sunpower modules). With a custom racking system, I can squeeze 4 of them up there. Panels are a few years old, but specs are: SPR-215-WHT-U...

Am I missing something? Did you mean to link me to the manufacturer page?

Hey folks, Puking cash all over the place for my sprinter build. In that vein, considering single fuel source appliances. I'd like to build in access to hot water, and a stove. I don't necessarily need a heater, but I wouldn't say no if there was a device that also did that. From what I see...
