Looking to mount my fridge on my Decked system and power it from a power bank that will live in the cab. What's the best way to run power cables to/from? Eventually I plan to swap to an AGM and have some solar backup to provide constant power while parked, but for now it's about getting me out and my fridge powered for food so I can get things all mounted and functional; also clear up my garage floor so I can paint my VKS sliders ;)

any consideration to running something like a jackery or ecoflow in the bed?
I have the EcoFlow 600, but need to keep it powered and charging while I drive, then let it power the fridge when parked. So I need to keep it powered and sealed, since it’s not weatherproof. Thought about it… I’d need a hard mounted, lockable case. Planning to run my fridge 24/7

ok so here is what we (as in a friend and myself) do. We run eco flow River Pro/Max. He keeps his in his small Leitner box for protection, wire basically from switch panel running power to a female cig lighter to his box in the bed. We also have one of these in line for more POWA.
Now we all dont have Leitner boxes but you could easily make something work just to keep it out of the rain/weather/dust. Plug the ecoflow into the plug, last i checked mine was charging @ 190 watts of the plug with the d/c boost. Its on a switch so you can control it, it works really really well.

Definitely interested in this idea, if you had some pictures too and I'd be interested to see where you tapped power from to the inverter and mounted it etc. I have a small Leitner box actually, not 100% how well it stays sealed but it's an option. Getting a Blue Sea plug etc is easy.
