i also have the 60liter but mine is ARB. love the lower height. allowed me to make my whole rear section level and keep decent vision out the back.

My idea is to fabricate a very light and thin slide platform with the solar panel on top of it, under the roof tent structure and that moves and lock forward when I am parked.

It would work as a shade for the front windshield and support the solar panel.

Regarding the refrigerator, the ARB is a rebadged Engel for 110/220 V painted in different color.

Engel by Sawafuji is a very old japanese manufacturer and many people doesn't know they are the one who build the generator section for some of the Honda portable generators, also they build vehicle starting motors for some famous car companies.

In short words you are paying for a refrigerator build in Japan, send to Australia and then delivered to the USA !!!!!
