Will eventually have a conversion kit to become...

For the price of that Addax cap.

I really like the idea of buying a simple cap that can be upgraded to a pop top. Cool idea.

That power supply would be a great home backup generator! Huge capacity to run off the trucks engine.

Here's a quick fix. My lift gate catch needed a striker plate for the locking mechanism. A couple of pennies and some JB weld did the trick.

I love this. A microwave in a Gladiator! Our portable power supplies can handle microwaves, so why not? I would use a cheap 700watt microwave ($70) vs. the one in the video.

2 minutes heating food in a 700 watt microwave uses so much less power than reheating a can of chili on an electric stovetop for 10 minutes or even an induction top.

you mean an aftermarket power supply right, isn't the outet good for 400 watts? Probably right using micro waves instead of other heating options would not be a smuch of a drain.....jack

Yes my Pecron 600 can put out 1200 watts surprisingly. Not bad for a $300 power supply.

I could run my place on that system alone.

I was just there over Christmas.

Nice rig! Do you have pics of the interior? Love the dual propane tanks. Are you using them for heat or cooking?

We had our biggest snow fall in years around St. Louis.

My little lithium power supply doesn't work in single digit temperatures, so I can't use it to start my diesel heater in the camper. When it's this cold, I run an extension to my Cigarette lighter plug on the dash to run the diesel heater. The heater even has a remote control so I can start it from my house to warm up the truck in the morning. By the way I ran a jumper in my fuse box so that my cigarette lighter plug remains powered when the truck is off.

Do you have details on that jumper? Thanks

Pictured above is the fuse box jumper. This keeps power to your Cigarette lighter plug when your truck is not running. This is great to power a 12 volt fridge, or a diesel heater when the truck is not running. It's by Cool Tech LLC PowerPort Adapter. My fridge monitors the battery voltage and will stop before it drains the truck's battery. The diesel heater doesn't use much power, but could possibly drain the truck's battery if the truck is not running, so be careful. I switch to my lithium power supply to run the diesel heater overnight while camping.
