Power to bed

the wife wanted a fridge for camping so we waited and got a good deal on a dometic 75 DZ. now I need to get a slider and power to it. I decided on using the dometic plug because the plug screws in. I was initially going to mount the plug on the back wall and then thought better of it. Because the cord is only 6 ft and wouldn’t work with the slide. So I mounted the plug in the little hole by the tail gate. Here are some pics

 

The dometic plug was 20ft long and barely reached the battery. I was going to put the plug on the passenger side but when I ran the wire I was about 3 ft short.

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks, How are things going with the wee one? They really change your life, for the better.

 

Nice

 

Very cool, I put mine in the same spot.

 

They really do and they change your life for the crazier too LOL

Are you and the family going to Big Bear this weekend?

 

Looks good too Trent! You and the family going to big bear too? Boating season is over

 

Nicely done!

 

I need another/better career

 

Nice. What is that light attached to the bed?

 

No unfortunately. We were going to go, then I took too much time to reserve the site. Anyway I have to get the truck ready for tepuifest, I have to mount the fridge. I also have bed stiffeners that I bought on black Friday that I want to get in before we go. Then there's the lights for Julie's 4runner and I have to build a dog run. It never ends, added to that once they start school you have to go to birthday parties,ughhhhh at least most of the ones we go to have beer

 

ARB plug has 12g wire running straight to my battery. Always hot.

The bed lights are Toyota but i purchased them on Amazon. Install required 2 small holes to be drilled on each light for screws and a larger hole for the wire. Comes with a template. Run the wires to the driver's side rear kick panel and tap into your cargo light. Comes on with the doors or unlock button, and can be turned on all the time with the dash switch. There are a few write ups on here.

 

I'm actually here at the Lake for the last trip of the season right now!
