This one? ARB Fridge Freezer DC Cord & Power Plug (10910076)
Looks the same as the one for my JP series.
Wasn't someone bashing ICECO for using a non-industry standard plug? And now I'm reading that the ARB plug fits?
April 2022 rolling out now: check 1st post. 3 Models 25% so far.

The VL35 expandable uses a completely different plug. I think the other models all use the standard ARB plug.
also got this

I guess that makes sense. That guy probably had the expandable. I would have to agree with him then. Doesn't make a lot of sense to have different plugs. That's just more inventory and more to keep up with.
That's a good kit to have when connecting direct to a car battery (or fuse block). My last go round, I bought the wire at Home Depot and the connectors off Amazon. It worked, but was not near as clean as the ARB wiring kit.

The TR 12V has been reliable, but I have not useD the VL 12v cord yet. It looks like the standard 12V which is known to slip from my Jackery’s 12V input. That’s another thing about TRs is updated 12V connection, I will post pic later.
And yes, nothing on display means it wiggled loose, and the fact that it was 32 when set at 38, means it literally just wiggled lose recently, possibly from a vibration from you opening a door nearby or something? They are unreliable to begin with, and the Jackery’s 12V input adapter is even harder to stay attached to.
With the complaints about the 12 plug, wont that be fixed with simply replacing the plug with another? Snip + Solder (or crimp)

This is why I converted my equipment to Anderson connectors. They won’t just fall out, are smaller, and have less power loss. Just my .02
IceCo has an "Up to 30% off" coming up on Amazon Days on the 13th-14th of October.

I want to do a double/triple check to make sure the average consumption of <6.5 watts continuous use wasn't a fluke, so i am running the test again. I also wanted to run it in "Eco Mode" this time ,to get a idea of whether there is a difference in long-term power consumption between the two modes. The stream has been live and test running for almost 7 hours, and Jackery has 81% capacity remaining. Not only is it proving that it was not a fluke, it's actually well on it's way to outlasting the previous test at 41F, where it lasted 26 hours on the little Jackery 160.
The point i am going to make to people and that i am testing to verify, is that if you picked up a fridge and are looking for ways to power it, then even a ~$100 battery bank (i got mine during amazon sale), can get the job done. One of my next steps is to try and find out what the smallest solar panel is that I can use to run this thing indefinitely, assuming I got at least 8 hours of sunlight per day and assuming 50% efficiency (50W panel giving at least 25W continuous output). It is looking like it will be under/around $200 to get everything i need to power this thing indefinitely; assuming i bought at the right time for the right prices. The best part is it's all plug and play, because i still don't know how to setup a dual-battery setup, and it's looking like i may not need to! Cost is also a big factor for me when deciding between different power setups.

That 100 though!
Looks like a very capable setup all around, for both camping and tackling tough trails!
I really appreciate you setting a good example and contributing so much back to the thread! Melissa from ICECO FB Media team really appreciates any pictures/content i can send her, and i really appreciate you guys not only sharing, but also allowing me to share to ICECO. It's little things that this that contribute to a long and healthy relationship between Mud and ICECO. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed and thanks in advance to everyone else; you all get an applause from me!
I wonder if those prices will be better than group buy lol

I hope so! Or at least as nice, as we have a few members waiting on a deal, and Lu has not given me any official dates. I'm in no rush as i need time to do some testing and make marketing material for the TR, but it would be nice to get the people who want something within the next month taken care of.
Thanks for sharing by the way, good eye! I will update in thread title to alert others.
You guys are being great GB mudders by the way, keep up the good work!
Stroller fits perfect 
lol Vl60 was made for 100 series
lol Vl60 was made for 100 seriesthe only thing is im not sure if the Sliders are also on sale. On the Group Buy both slider and fridge had a good discount hah. Im hoping to pick up both at the same time.. Already got my solar panel and now waiting for my Bluetti AC50S to ship!
I would recommend that those members call Lu. I know that a ToyotaOff-Road.com member called him and was offered group buy pricing on a JP about a week before the last GB went live.
Is this an early Amazon Days coupon?
