Frig, solar upgrade

AustinHealey

I have a 2020 TAG Boondock Lite that came with the 35 liter yeti cooler. I would like to upgrade to solar and a 12 volt fridge. Have contacted NuCamp to see if they can do that for me and what it would cost, waiting for a reply. Any suggestions from ya’ll as to the best way to do this upgrade? Drive the 12 hours to Sugarcreek Ohio and have the factory do it? Find a local installer? I have read about the Renogy Suitcase but really want a permanently installed system I do not have to set up at the campsite and has less risk of theft. Does anyone have any recommendations of a 12 volt fridge besides the Norcold NRF 30? Also need some steps to help get into this thing. Thanks for your input.

I would not drive 12 hours. Any local shop should be able to fix you up.
Last day today for CostCo Massimo CX50 12 V Portable E-Kooler.
Good deal from friends who have purchased one.
They also have smaller capacity.
CostCo has a good return policy. Measure and buy when on sale.

Thanks - does that require any drilling? Does in plug in the the small plug on the side of the front aluminum box on my Boondock?
