This particular fridge cannot be installed upright so i mounted it on a slide system. It works smoothly and latches perfectly. One side note if you are using slide rails make sure you install them perfectly straight to avoid any binding while in motion.

Do you use a surge protector or is it not needed

I was trying to find out which TV mount name I’ve been searching and trying to find them with a single bean
Gas or diesel?
Bro, you got learning issues.
Is your unit still working? Cause mine just stopped working
Bro holy cow 🐄 😳 amigo that looks so dam essy i was terrified to even try this myself im goijg to if i ever need to it looks supper simple i guedlss the key here is to hava a little diesel on you so you can change it when its time ? New owner operator ten years out here i was terrifed to do this i will try it as you shown and have the same motor 579 pete 2021 i hope it works when i do it i cant stand going to bs shops just for simple dam jobs tbis looks easy as cream i feel i can do this myself when it comes to tbe time very instructional and not blah blah blah bs thanks man il give ya updates if i have to do it ❤😊
what ac do u use with that setup
My compliments! First class setup.
I the name of the mount from amazon and thanks again
Thank you very much
I like the way you explain 👍👍👍👍
What was the actual brand or model for the tv mount you found on Amazon
Very nice work
I've got the same generator 3 years awesome unit ,remote startup. I've got mine mounted up behind the cab in an aluminum box that I made with two radiator fan ,10inch for in take 12 for exhaust with temp probe they turn off and on as needed, I have an Idle free electric APU with air conditioner and A wabasta hydraulic heater that Heats my cab sleeper fuel tanks. An engine. I use the generator to charge batteries when sitting for extended.s of time. Also to run my microwave toaster, oven, coffee pot, And water heater for my shower
How did you connect your radiator fans to this generator? It doesn’t look like it has any DC outputs. What temp probe did you use? Thanks.
@johnathanfritz2877 i didn't. I connected them to the batteries i charge with generator, then to a daul fan relay you can find at any autoparts store. I have 8 deep cycle AGM batteries that run all my appliances. The generator is to charge them. 55 amp charger with a separator ill only charge 4 at a time, i have an idle free apu that runs off the batteries also it provides AC AND HEATING.
How did you set up it to charge truck batteries
Can you plug in your block heater?
thats how you measure the screen.you want to measure the TV across so you can see if it fits properly...
Location? I’d have you do my trailer pleaseeeeee
Since everyone is an expert but doesn't know jackshit... YOU CAN'T DRILL HOLES ON FRAME FLANGES. You can drill holes anywhere on the flat part of the frame just not where the frame curves to make the C channel shape as that can allow cracks to develop. For the really brain dead... the dealer drills holes to mount steps, boxes, apu mounts and tire chain holders.
how do you power it
Where did u buy that ventilation lid that u can screw?
Thanks need to work on getting rid of dead air. Talk us thru helpful tips as you go along.
Where did you get the tractor trailer knob stickers ?
Please how can I get connected with you, am a diesel engine mechanic, base here in Nigeria, were I come from, please can I get in touch with you, Many thanks
Was this a solo job or did you need help removing the old belt and installing the new one?
Solo pretty easy
I think it needs to be removed from the truck and removed the tire from the rims for better results!
is it mounted in the box? how do you refuel it, just pull it out? is it gas or diesel?
it is gas power
Happy to subscribe.
I just ordered one of these for 500 bucks on Amazon.
Good setup One time I want to install a apu and they told me I had to wait a couple of months and it was going to cost me over ten grand. I did the same thing. The only downside is that you have to go buy fuel everyday. When you had a long they it's a little tiring. Had that for 2 years +. If you do it make sure it's an inverter generator so you won't damage your electronics.
Cool no mask and your neighbor truck get over spray 😂
I was gonna do that but than I just decided to throw my Gen on the catwalk two straps and a chain for theifs and that works. I the winters I leave it home and save space
I needed this. Been wanting to repaint my trucks wheels for a while now.
I have two Edostory Nboost 1500 and just ordered the VTOMAN CP3500 Cable to connect the two. Edostory, VTOMAN, AISPEX and NORNVIN PB-76M are made by Carku.
Thanks for video
What about the exhaust ? Smoke gets stuck inside?
Nice setup. Is it ok, DOT wise, to drill holes in the frame or did you use existing holes?
DOT doesn't give two shits about drilling holes. How do you think you mount steps and sideboxes on truck frames... you drill holes
So how long did it take to charge the power station ?
Where did you get the cooling fan from
You can not cut into the frame on a CMV, putting holes in the frame is a major no/no. Not sure what they’d do to you if they investigated the mounts. Just what I’ve heard on CMV trucks you absolutely can not touch the frame
You heard wrong, the dealer drills holes for steps and sideboxes, ffs
@@TheRoadhammer379 right; the dealer can cut into the frame. They are authorized to do it in very specific locations. Someone outside a dealer shouldn’t ever do it. If some mobile mechanic tries convincing you otherwise, he’s full of crap and just wants to make a quick buck and you’ll never see him again. Sure you can cut into the frame. But if something ever were to happen, you take 100% liability on yourself. Not to mention you void your warranty on every last part that’s attached to the truck. If you get inspected and an officer checks hacked cuts, you can be put out of service until you fix it. How do you fix a frame in the lot of a weigh station? Once you cut the frame you weaken it, no officer in his right mind can legally let you drive off with hacked up sections of a frame
Any problem with snow and rain getting into the box through the fan opening or the wire chord hole?
What the box size?
Why did you mount it away from the frame so far?
Nobody has tested this with solar input and from what ive read almost no panels work with it.
The panels have to be minimum of 30 volts. I believe that's the only stipulation.
men great tip i aprecciated now my freightshaker can look better
Would have been great to see the same test but with pass through charging using a solar panel! I bet the fridge may never stop powering up! 💁🏻♂️
Thanks!

I’m having trouble with the ones I bought. Like they don’t want to screw on. They’re the chrome ones with the brown leather longhorns. Don’t know if you’ve seen them or not at Iowa 80.
Same here.
Did you unscrew the hex bolt on the knob before putting on? Might have to check the depth of the chrome ones you have to the length of your screws. That or their thread could be messed up. Inner thread should be 5/8 11 @@El.Pelavacas_Van-Lines
@@johndowns4161 i did and also got 4 different ones. Now I am using pliers to pull the break until I go back to OEM.
What’s the size of the fridge? Is it the 30L one?
