With summer approaching (I hope) if you have a 3 way Frig, I have found the unit below very useful. I think its saving me gas, by setting the frig on the desired temperature and not freezing the Lettuce etc. To getting it set up correctly just make sure you follow the battery loading instructions.

The Isuzu mux is rated to 3000kg and has great reviews and efficiency and is priced well, but I would like to know if it actually lives up to its rating in real life. We are looking forward to hitting the road in Feb 2017...
