WHAT WE SAY: This is a very affordable and reasonably easy-to-instal system.
WE HAVE set up the back of our MU-X wagon with an MSA fridge slide to mount a 12V fridge in for camping trips. While a fridge will run off your vehicle’s main battery when you are driving and the alternator is keeping the battery charged, the battery won’t last long once you have stopped in camp for the night or longer.
Add in a few other electrical accessories such as camp lights and music players to the power draw on the car fridge and you’ll probably wake up to a flat battery after the first night.
