Yeah after swapping my 3rd warrantied alternator, I said fuck it and bought a higher rated amperage alternator.

Upgrade to a mean green alternator. Or if you've still got the stock one see if you can find a shop that will rewind it and replace the brushes

Mean Green FTW!!
$500 for a 200w alternator is pretty tough to pay out right now. I will have to call around to see what I can get an OEM alternator rebuilt to and for how much. If I can get over 120w I will be much happier.
So the fridge will be here Friday. Amazon reviews are low because one bad review; but their other models all have really good reviews.

The one Zech (and me) bought is an older model that's being phased out it appears.
Which does not bother me. I hate first year model bugs.

So.. they are phasing out the first model you bought with all the bugs.

That's Mr Asshole to you
I talked to the product development VP for Dometic at a trade show last month. They are doing a rebranding and changing the looks of their product but keeping internals the same. Going to a black color instead of blue with some visually cleaner designs.
They had a feature on their biggest fridge that connects to your phone with an app. You can control the temp from your phone and monitor everything from there.

Thats a pretty cool feature.. but I set my ARB 7 years ago and don't think I have changed it since.

You don't have an app, otherwise you'd check and change it everytime you sit on the pot.

LOL.. I doubt it. But I might check it often... at least for the first week I had it. 
So I ended up ordering an Exide 24DP marine battery. It has 775 CCA, 140 mins @ 25A, and only weighs 50 lbs. It should be here Tuesday.
And now to plan a trip.

Gonna need a trailer to haul that thing around on.. she's a big ol' girl!!
It is a decent bit smaller once out of the box. Plus I have my work storage boxes and tool bag behind it in the pic. I think it should take up a little less than half the cargo area by the measurements.
Note for maintenance: Replaced driver side CV Axle at 255,000 miles.
Then this afternoon I finally installed the cheater bar for the annex setup. Really liking this tent and looking forward to next weekend's maiden trip out. Time to pop this cherry.
