Thx for the overview. Curious why you didn’t switch it with the Redarc? How’s it held up inside the bag?

Good job! I would have mounted another board in the middle then you could mount your max trax holder vertically freeing up a bit more space for other things

Nice aluminum work, the only thing that I would do different is I will try to follow the contour (curve) of the camper remember it is a reason of that curve even know it is very high that way you won’t change the departure angle, and if you follow that curve it will look nicer from the sides

Helpful to see some numbers, thank you. But for the record you have a mistake in using units correctly. Watts is a measure of power at a moment in time. It is already a rate (joules/sec) and watts/hour does not make any sense. I see this in a lot of reviews which is not ideal when it is trying to be presented as scientific testing. Watt-hours is quanity of energy consumption over a period of time. It used a total of 341 watt-hours during the 12 hour test. So it used 28.41 watt-hours/hour not 28.41 watts/hour. You could state that energy consumption during your test was equivalent to a 28.41 watt constant load for 12 hours. Because of course 28.41 watts for 1 hour is 28.41 watt-hours and 28.41 watts for 12 hours is the 341 watt-hours consumed. Still got some good info from you here and that thing does seem to sip power under not easy conditions.

Looks good Bud!

Id silicon all the gaps inside. Somethings will eventually leak.

I always appreciate an honest review. Many people won't share the things they did wrong in a build, Toyota has let a lot of people down in the new Tundra. I love the build mate, with the exception of the new Tundra engine. The style of the new Tundra is great. The interior looks really nice

Great looking rig. Yeah, engine power and weight carrying capacity are a big negative with the Tundra. I wish Toyota would make HD trucks. Did you upgrade the brakes? I built something similar on a 2022 Ford F250 Tremor 7.3 Liter gas truck with a Mits Alloy Evo 2 flatbed and a Supertramp camper. I looked at the FWC Hawk as well, but at that time I was not ready to go flatbed. That came a little later down the line. Lead times on a Bowen Customs bed were so ridiculous so that I went with the Mits as well. Overall, the Mits is a good flatbed, but I hated how unnecessarily tall the Mits made the camper sit. I had my local shop lower the bed to reduce the overall height. I am so glad I did. Yes, I lost the drawer, but the truck handled so much better when driving. If I would have kept the drawer there were still about 2 inches that the height would have come down. Mits was not very helpful when my shop reached out. Fortunately, my shop was able to make their own mounting brackets. I used the Torklift steps as well. Great choice. I put marine-grade "carpeting" onto the steps and also added the Pet Safe option. Made it easier and more comfortable to walk up and down. My new rig is going to be a bit different (Rossmonster Baja), but I want to travel and work full-time from the road and neither my Supertramp or the FWC were sufficient enough. Would love to hear how you work from the road and all that good stuff. See you down the road ...

Nice rundown on the build. I wonder if the Hybrid powertrain would have been more suitable given the extra weight.

Great video, thank you! My built is 1,400 pounds over payload and I do not have a power issue, but I have the 3rd Gen TRD PRO which comes with the hybrid engine, although I took a hit on gas averaging 11.2 MPG which honestly I expected, which engine is in your limited?

Thank you for your honest maybe blunt assessment of the new Tundra. We chose a Ford F-250 which has a generous payload capacity and has been a reliable workhorse that needed minimal modifications. Ford does not yet have the proven or perceived quality that Toyota has earned. We have a 2019 Hawk and it's pleasing to see that FWC is continuing to improve its product. I especially like the upgraded heater/water heater, stove, sink, electrical upgrades / options and my favorite under bed storage! I'm curious if the aluminum internal structure needed for the roof actuators interferes with inside use of the camper.

Amazing Rig! It was great meeting you and seeing this truck in person at Rigs and Coffee.

They want $250 to ship it any faster than 2 weeks. LOL. No thanks.

Shoping for a 12v. Boondocking for 2-3 at a time. Just me. Power 600w base + 100watt solar panel. Is this an acceptable 12v fridge for that? I dont really need the dual zone, but I really like the aluminum for me re: carrying. I just sent back a 35l Camco due to temp issues and poor craftsmanship. Thanks.

Awesome build! What did you use for the sliding door panels?

What if this is my only fridge I'll be running in my rig? I have a 4runner looking at this or the apl55. What do you recommend, TIA!

Dang it, I have one coming with the cover and I wanted to get the Iceco 250Wh battery to go with it but now Im not so sure..lol.. Some say 6-10 hours, some say 36 hours... Talk about analysis paralysis..I think Im just going to get a 500wh battery pack and be done with it.. Thanks!

Hey there！We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some car related items. Do you accept sponsored products?

Just subscribed, very well done video, probably the best i have seen on this cooler which im considering buying.

How much

Beatutiful. Please bro i wish i could go

Wow! I had no idea how big this place was. Great video Bud!

What size bed does that Tundra have the 5.5 ft. or 6.5 ft.?

Is that a 2024 Toyota Tundra worth $52,725 with 2 owners in the past year? And boy is that alot of matinence! Brake system, Coolant system, engine, exausht, you must have spent thousands on repairs!

Inside?❤

Great review, I like your straight to the point no BS style. Been thinking of upgrading to this fridge setup in my overlanding setup instead of running two coolers. I also have a Jackery 500, and after watching the performance, I'm thinking I should have bought a larger unit. That being said, when you have your Jackery plugged in to your vehicle, and your fridge plugged in to your Jackery, are you able to keep it at 100% state of charge, or will it draw more wattage than can be charged by your truck's alternator. Thanks!

NOCO says the plug only supports 15amp.. so how does it work with manager 30amp?

Undecided between this one and the apl55. Just curious that i can't find the 35 on the iceco website but it is online in a place called indogo, is that partnered with iceco? How come iceco doesn't sell it?

That's a good idea. Because it's a logarithmic scale, know that a 3dB increase or decrease in the sound pressure level equals a doubling or halving of sound volume. Your gas mileage increase will really pay off. Thanks.

1st of all good suggestion to use the scientific method of getting actual power usage in different environments. When using the Jackery 500 it would not last 1 full day unless you had an outside power source recharging it ie solar panel, car power, or ac plug in. 24hr usage would be in excess or 600 wh.

I haven't seen any Fireflies in years😊

Where did you get the connections for the cold water hose to the heater? Is that green hose joolca hose or just a normal water hose?

Such a rad build! Is that the 6.5 bed or the 5.5?

Just got mine and hooked it up to my EcoFlow Delta 2. So far, so good. Question about the fridge itself. What the difference with Eco/MAX? The different battery protection and what settings I should set it to?

Brother love the setup. I have an 08 with the same roof rack. I have 2 questions for you; what propane holder is that and where did you get the rubber spacers that go between your rack and hard top on the sides? Thanks

your backyard is amazing. please do a tour...

Is that a 5 or 10 lb propane tank you have there on the back?

Just got mine today! So excited!

Great video I’ve looked at all these products and am trying to upgrade from my ancient equipment! This info will help!

Be neat they made a fridge that was vertical rather than horizontal cooler.

Interesting, never heard of this mattress, now I have, thanks!

Well….I can only gamble to get one, since it is only available on Indigo and would take at least two months to maybe get….poo.

Grateful for this review, was ready to get Iceco VL35 ProS for my minivan for self sufficient travel, working out the layout. This is lighter, the seal seems better (but not removable), and dual zone. Time to re-measure. What is the tested energy use of this APL35 as a comparison?

Did it come with a dent in the front?

Just got one!

Headed there this Fall. Which part of the Black Hills has the biggest densest pines? Looking for a few days of solitude.

Lmao I had my left headphone ear off and thought my audio setup was borked. Nice review overall!

I wanna go fishing !

Any idea how much power it used to get there?
