What a great report and so awesome you were able to do that trip with and for your father!

I have a 2012 Xterra. Without my trailer I get 18-19 MPG on the interstate at 70. With the trailer, that drops to 15-16. The trailer is a modified M-416 with a tent on top and wider fenders with wider track width. It tracks close behind the vehicle. At 60 MPH, mileage is the same. As speed...

Thank you. That's exactly what I did. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

Got the lunette broken free and lubed on my M416 finally. Does anyone know what the spec is for tightening the castle nut back?

These are pics of my actual tent taken by the previous owner. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

Here are pictures of the vent where I am having the leak and the outside of the setup for reference.

I just recently purchased a trailer with this tent mounted on it. The original owner said he bought to tent just as Camping Lab was closing shop. I had it set up in my yard tonight preparing for a 2 week camping trip string soon. A thunderstorm blew through and let and behold the tent leaks...

I did not. The power clicked off and and back on almost instantly. Seems to work fine now. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

Interesting development. It seems to be working now. We had a storm and the power flickered. Now I can see it to -8 and it gets there. Things are frozen in all parts of the cooler too. That's with a heat advisory in effect and my garage being in the 90s. Guess it just needed a power cycle...

So this sounds like normal operation? To be clear I had 4 2-liter water bottles two in each of the baskets and a 3 small water bottles on the shelf. This was set to 24 degrees and left unopened for over 12 hours. Nothing was frozen. Turning it to 0 got things to freeze when left unattended for...

I purchased a Dometic CFX-50 less than 90 days ago. I am about to go on a two week camping trip and was testing everything to make sure I am ready to go. The unit will not freeze the contents of the top shelf. When set to 24 degrees, it would not freeze 4-2 Liter bottles of water in the lower...

What kind of battery set up are you running and what does your fridge show for voltage in the app? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

The ARB wiring kit is 10 gauge wire. The Optima is a 44ah battery. The plug looks like a cig lighter, but is not. It has two prongs inside that insert into matching slots in the dometic cable (when you unscrew the cig adapter). It's a good solid locking connection. I have read from several...

Recap, I'm on an Optima red top AGM group 35 battery. My voltage meter and the voltages reported by the fridge are listed in my post above. I have had the battery tested at two different stores. Both showed resting voltage of 12.67v and load test showed over 900cca (battery rated for 720cca). So...

Thank you for the thorough reply. Very helpful info. My meter is a Fluke that I bought many moons ago. I don't know how well it's calibrated. That's something I need to get checked. The Advance Auto used this big handheld digital battery tester. I don't recall the brand or type, but it gave a...

Thanks. I thought there battery voltage seemed low too. I charged it with a Schumacher sc-1200a. Supposed to be a smart charger. I also took it to Advance and they ran a test and said battery and charging system are fine. Is it normal for the fridge to report voltage that is over 0.5v lower than...

The 18 feet is the 20ft ARB wiring harness with about 2ft cut off. With a freshly charged battery, engine off, fridge on, I am reading 12.42v at the battery, 12.26v at the socket the fridge plugs into, and 11.8v is being reported by the fridge itself. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

Thank you for the input. The ARB outlet is wired directly to battery. Total run is about 18 feet. The outlet itself looks like a cigarette lighter, but is actually a two prong connection that the power cord from the fridge connects to then screws in to lock into place. The charts I've looked up...

I recently purchased a CFX 50W from Dometic directly when they were having their memorial day sale. Upon receiving it, I plugged it into the 12v outlet in the rear of my Xterra and fired it up, turned on WiFi and opened the app. It initially shutoff not long after compressor start and the...

Good start to the trip Looking forward to more reports. Planning a similar trip myself later this year.
