12 volt

[Michael Harris]

I use one of those small Dometic refrigerators quite a bit when I travel. It runs on both 12 volt and 110 but supposedly it's more efficient on 12 volt, bypassing the need for converting DC to AV then back to the DC current the Dometic uses. Hopefully Jeep will see the need for a 12 volt plug in the bed and on the panel in the back seat next to the 110 outlets. In any event I've found a use for one of my Aux buttons it looks like. now to just carefully drill this hole in my new Jeep......... Anyone else doing a mod like this? The good news is that I have so many USB ports that I could run an HP call center from the bed of my truck but I can only plug in one 12 volt device.

I do not currently have a fridge but want to get one and that's exactly what I plan on doing. Was thinking about something like this mounted in the bed so you could also charge your phone while camping.

I've had the Dometic for two seasons and can't travel without it. It was a little expensive but well worth it.

I've used that same kit you linked for small solar battery boxes and they work great. For a Dometic, I have the CFX28, I would replace the 12 volt wire on that panel with a little heavier gauge since the fridge needs around 6.5 amps on the 12 DC side. https://www.dometic.com/en-us/us/pr...lers/electric-coolers/dometic-cfx-28-_-145540
