I understand that, but you cannot get any efficient cooling on 12 V unless you have plugged your fridge into a wall socket and cool all your perishables / drinks down to fridge temps. You will lose your good on longer trips using 12 V.

Depending on the season, I just can't see that happening, I have a Goal Zero 1400 and connected to my Dometic 65L via 110 Volt connector, it won't charge it more than 36 hours in the peak of summer and that is draining the battery down to 15%. Of course my dometic was being used more as a drinks...

My Dometic runs dual purpose, camping and beer. When I'm not camping, it's a beer fridge at home.

We bought the 3 bedroom Ozark from Walmart and had 4 free chairs included. Decent tent, steady in the wind, waterproof, have used it a few times, goes up easy, each room has a divider to sleep in privacy, easily houses a queen sized inflatable mattress in each room with room to spare around the...

You make an excellent point however you also have to keep in mind the affordable heritage and history of the Wranglers vs. what a massive transformation the vehicle has gone through (especially if you look at the loaded one). This is the same reason the Volkswagen Phaeton - a BEAST of a luxury...

I priced a loaded Rubicon at just over $57K and thought - damn you could get the Ford F150 Limited with Massaging Seats fully loaded to the gills for slightly less. However, since it is still sticker price, wonder how much off the MSRP will dealers discount the price.

Wow that looks pretty solid and certainly cozy. I was looking at the ARB awning and the ability to convert it into a room if need be but I felt it would limit the ability to have an outdoorsy feel when hanging around the camp site if it was closed off and would unnecessarily increase effort in...

Depending on what pickup you consider, this could be a cheaper option - https://nuthouseindustries.com/expedition-trailers/peanut/

Apologies if my post wasn't clear. I guess I was trying to get an opinion from the more experienced folks on here what their opinions would be when comparing a run-of-the-mill one sided awning vs. a 270 degree foxwing awning. The reason I'm debating this is because I've seen numerous videos...

I'm still about a year away from starting to build my overlanding rig but am in the process of gathering intel to make an informed decision. Just curious to know why would you buy a regular awning vs. a foxwing awning, pluses / minuses of one over the other, from those who have owned one or both.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Appreciate it.

@rubicon91 - great build. I have a couple of questions on your setup. I love the look of the Gobi Rack but I've heard that MPG and highway sound turn for the worse with it. How's your experience been? Also, how much room do you have left between your fridge and the TF shelf? I'm not a Jeep owner...

Don't mean to meaninglessly bump old threads but this man has his priorities in place :beer:

No not on the phone - apparently I'm a noob with too few posts that I cannot insert links into my posts just yet.

Responded primarily to the OP with my suggestion. What'd I miss?
