I highly recommend a 12 volt refrigerator I’m 50/50 living in my van and the fridge with solar keeping my batteries charged is a game changer and way better than trying to keep ice in a cooler
@@AndyGeesGarage what brand fridge are you running? We have a tuff stuff overland fridge (arb knock off) that does really well, however definitely sucks up more energy when the temps rise. I’ve had this one for over 8 years now and I’m actually very surprised it still works …..
@@AndyGeesGarage yeah I’ve been pretty happy with ours, it drained a battery once even though it has the eco mode that is supposed to shut the fridge off before depleting the vehicle battery but other than that one time it’s been pretty solid …. Expensive but a game changer over melted ice and soggy left overs …
@@vanlifeadjustments yep this is my old motocross van I bought back in 2001-2002 area later sold to my brother and got back last year ….. I go back n forth on the cost involved with this 2000 big beast of a diesel over my 2013 with the 5.4 gasser but I really like the towing capabilities, power, gas mileage of the diesels for my long term build plans ….
