    Hey at least I didn’t buy a toaster oven thinking I could plug it up to a 12v like before and you busted my balls about it :biggrin_25523: Alright you smart sob, if I did install one, how do I run the fridge 24/7 without an APU and killing the batteries Huh? Don’t make me turn this truck back around and go back to Texas hahahahaha (idling 24/7 during winter, anyway, makes no sense unless at freezing temperature)

    Wire in the inverter, plug in the fridge and turn it on.

    Edit: You know that the alternator charges the batteries when the engine is running right? It'd take 3+ days to kill the batteries with the in inverter running the fridge when the truck is off.

    I think we both know there’s a good chance I’d burn my truck down; at least I borrowed a good plan to put my genny on my headache rack and run the extension cord under the truck and up the cab, just gotta take a knife and stabby stab a few holes into the floor, no big deal

    @TripleSix At 11:15, about how far away do you think that gong is? Pretty impressive shooting for a handgun.

    I did not know that actually, but back when I ran my 12v electric cooler with the engine off it would hit load shed pretty quickly lol

    80 yards... I've never even tried to hit mine at that distance with a hand gun. I need to shoot more, but then I think of the cleaning and everything else involved and talk myself out of it lol.

    Ditto to carnage. I was running a lot of Wisconsin roads in 2019 and for someone used to deer collision in northern NY I was appalled. Surreal the carcasses everywhere...
    We have Hunters against Hunger and the local cops often get them to come out if there's anything could be salvaged. I guess WI doesn't have that. :-(

    Actually if you eBay or Amazon it you can spend 250$ and get an actual compressor frig 12v. Works great. Zokop 16229434487439025860408702117087.jpg 16229434774851783522974467338790.jpg
