Why this kit?
I wanted to just write something brief about why I chose this kit, why it works for my needs. You may find that it could work for yours.
I want to be able to run certain...
From the manual page 144:
"The Power Inverter will only turn on if the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position."
1.4 amps AC is not a whole lot. I would not bother with that for a fridge.
I think what you want is a 12V fridge/freezer. The vehicle's charging system can handle 12V without much...
Goal Zero is the bomb diggity. A portable power station is on my wish list. I see this as an add-on to the dual battery kit.

The stock battery is 75Ah with 700 CCA. Each Odyssey battery is 65ah and 850 CCA.

2x Group 25 Batteries in the same amount of space:
So I purchased this key: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077KG7G1Q/
I found a locksmith that can do laser cut keys and I was able to get the emergency key cut. This locksmith was a little pricier than I expected - $50. I am certain it can be had for cheaper.
If you choose to do this you can...
there is a tube of the epoxy in the kit, along with other bits to actually fix the defrosting strips themselves.
That epoxy is what you use to fix the connector.
