I installed it like this in my 510:Thanks. In CA so usually not too cold. The Propex does look nice. Not sure how it fits in the back and whether it can be installed down the road?

Wow, this is nice and not to expensive when you look at all that is in the kit. Does it have to be montend flat like that? And I'm sure I could find a place to install something like that in my trailer.I installed it like this in my 510:

I could absolutely install a shelf above it, per the instructions it only needs 25mm of space around it. I just haven't needed a shelf.Wow, this is nice and not to expensive when you look at all that is in the kit. Does it have to be montend flat like that?

You have a lot of space above it, does it need that space, or could you built a shelve above it? And I assume that the exhaust is going straight down through the floor?
I was wondering how that fancy regulator worked on your rig. I wasn't sure if England and the US were the same and now I know.A lesson I learned: US spec Propex heaters are jetted for US regulators (11" water column) so a good two-stage US regulator is what you want. Ignore the pressure specs in the Propex instructions as 14" water column (UK pressures) will cause a rich mixture gas lockout on a US spec Propex heater. I tried to get smart and increase the pressure in my US regulator and ended up spending some very cold nights with a non-functional heater!
Sounds like your 510 is going to be awesome! I love the new fridge placement, much better use of the space. How does that affect the length of the bed?I've thrown my hat in the Socal Teardrop bucket! Deposit in as of last week. Delivery mid-march. XS 5x10. They have a new option with positioning of the ARB fridge where it goes in long ways. This frees up room for another row of drawers. I'm putting a autohome maggi on the roof of 37's. Doing some other custom work - 3 100w solar panels, lion batteries, mount tabs for 4 roof flood lights, power in the maggi for electric blankets, chargers, and lights, got the furnace, etc etc etc.
Only thing I'm struggling with at this point is figuring out how to get it into the garage that is 80". I'm thinking 2 additional caster jacks, pull the wheels, lower it to the hubs, and it may be enough clearance, else, buy a set of 8" wheels to put on it to spring the suspension. I need to come up with about 14" of drop to get it in with the RTT in place. First world problems ;-)

This is really cool! About a year and a half ago, I had asked about doing just this with a small (35 liter) fridge. I guess they did it. I’ve been doing just this on my own though the fridge is in the center.I've thrown my hat in the Socal Teardrop bucket! Deposit in as of last week. Delivery mid-march. XS 5x10.

None on ours and I just checked. Our trailer is from Wanderlust so the power coat company would be different.Has anyone else experienced spot rust on the power coated frame welds and on the expanded metal cage where the mesh meets the tubing?
On the other end of the galley spectrum.... we got our 510xs with an 82qt ARB fridge mounted in the normal location. They are very adept at moving things around and ending up with a very well laid out plan. Ours includes the Propex heater installed by SoCal behind the drawers.

I went a little nuts with the wiring on my trailer (not a SoCal, but same difference here). I originally went with a flexible solar panel but later decided on a 100 watt folding panel I could place where the sun was. This has worked out better for me at keeping the battery charged with solar.Thanks All - can't wait for her to enter the queue. Mid February can't come quick enough.
I'm thinking about tapping and mounting quick deflators on the trailer tires to get it into the garage. They will take it down to 5 lbs in a minute, and I have a compressor.
I did order a James Baroud Explorer XXL and some Frontrunner RTT quick disconnects. Will have custom tabs mounted for those puppies. Working on a hoist that will connect to my house to get it on and off as easily as possible. Expecting an HOA letter ;-)
I'm kind of obsessing over some custom wiring options right now:
- solar, battery monitoring
- 2 panels mounted to the rig. I'm thinking the flexible style on the front, and one on the roof of the RTT.
- 4 flood lights on custom tabs on the rack
- Power to the RTT for lights, heater, USB chargers, etc
- Upgraded charger/inverter

Any owners gone nuts with this stuff?
