Okay working on consolidation for our camping trips. Last trip was 3days in the sierra’s and everything seemed to go alright. One thing we are leaning towards is a 12v fridge. Wanted to see what others are running? I really don’t feel like spending $1k on an ARB or Dometic.
I know it’s always been a question on how to pack for a trip, I myself was literally looking at videos to get things packed. Big change from our GMC pickup.
What you see and don’t see in the pic:
45qt Igloo ice chest
Large Rubber Maid Bin (Colman stove, propane, Colman dish set, misc cooking)
8 person two room tent
20x30 tarp
Ozark net canopy (aka kitchen/dining room)
Folding table 3x6
4 camping chairs (including my massive rocker)
4 self inflating Sleep pads (first time using them and was impressed)
4 sleeping bags
4 blankets/pillows
Chain saw
Bag of dry food
3 backpacks of cloths
Small tool box
Recovery gear, bottle jack
For the kiddos
Nintendo Switch and iPad
Oh, and four people. First time I asked how to pack people literally just asked why I didn’t remove the rear seats. There is a reason.
Lots of other small items but that’s the bulk. Only areas we find space saving is maybe the tent/tarp combo. We have a smaller 6 person but I can’t stand in it, which is frustrating. Back to original issue, 3 days of sloshing ice. If you have had luck with a 12v fridge I’d be interested in knowing the brand an size.
Cheers
