Would you say the 60 is much larger than the 45? Trying to decide which size VL to get

If I’m comparing my 45vl and tr60 inside space then yes.. idk if I’ll ever fill up the tr60 all the way unless I’m planning on camping 3 days or more.. the 45vl for me is good enough for 1-2 days of food and drinks.. I think I will have to do a side by side comparison soon.. hope that helps

thanks! i'm usually doing 2 nights but would like to start doing more so that sounds like maybe i should spring for the 60

thanks!
man that's a big fridge haha. it's the one i want but it takes up like half the cargo area!
any disadvantages of going with JP series? i think i read in this thread they are being discontinued?

One advantage to the JP is the pastic body is unlikely to be damaged during shipping. Plenty of VLs have arrived damaged, but I haven't seen any JPs with shipping damage.

Anyone running the VL60 dual zone in their garage without any issues? Thinking of getting one to have in the garage full time and then loading it up in the truck when needed

Buddy got the VL74 in his garage and puts it in his truck to go camping. He loves it

odd. the tracking number I received last week is not working. it hasn't moved from CA and shipper name is Harry Han. has this happened to anyone else?

 

[CowboyTaco]

I think someone in the first group buy (maybe?) received a tracking number for someone else. They ended up calling and getting the correct number and it arrived like the next day. Going off memory there, so I could be way off.

Do you have instructions on how you built the fridge slide itself?
Those look like some locking slides - which ones did you use?

Can confirm that the ARB plug holds into the Jackery much better than the one that came with my JP series.

Any reason why? I haven't received my fridge yet so I have no idea what the plug is like. Btw what size jackery do you use

The plug that comes with the ICECO (at least the JP series for sure, and I believe also the VL) doesn't hold tight in the Jackery 12v outlet. Put it in and it pushes itself back out. Several have said that the ARB holds tighter and others have done things like adding electrical tape to the ICECO plug to put more resistance on it. I tried the electrical tape 2 layers deep (not covering the connectors) on each side and it didn't help. At that point, I decided to order the ARB plug as a true fix.

I'm using the E1000, but have heard the same reports on the 160, 240 and 500.

Finally my bluetti arrived yesterday. Test out the fitting. Thank God it fit perfectly no modification. I'm a happy camper virtually.
