Not cruiser related..

My National Luna is 2 wire. Sorry. There must be a manual you could source online with cold beer in hand

It's pretty ancient. I'll have more of a dig another day. Maybe for an Engel manual.

Being 12v it'll be 2 wire , my suspicion is the 3rd prong is there just to keep the plug oriented correctly, which would mean the polarity matters.

I suspect it'll be a power hog, but it'd be nice to drag it along on a road trip once in a while.

I did find this after a quick search.
Amazon product ASIN B01JVM9J86
TBH, I was trying to find out why they used a three prong plug

That's the same one I found.

Figured I'd see if I could figure it out before spending 40 bucks. 12v side might not even work....

I’m not going stateside this next tour or I’d be able to get it for you without shipping and exchange.
If in the future you want it let me know

Hey Brian (R-y-n) him does this compare to yours? 12/24 or 120v

That looks like an RV fridge you'd permanently mount in a cabinet.
Mentions + - terminals on the back that are clearly marked, so definitely not the same. lol

Kinda funny, found a cord for 8 bucks, read description " please check polarity before using this cord"

Found a thread on car camping.com (expedition portal) of a guy asking the same question.
This page has a s***load of manuals.
Fridge Manuals, Parts List and Service Data - https://engelcoolers.com/pages/fridge-manuals-parts-list

Picked an old discontinued model and found this...

Not the way I'd have guessed.

I'll wave some 12v at it later, see if it twitches, or the magic smoke comes out. Mine isn't an Engel but the cords are allegedly the same.

 

[seapotato]

It's alive...

Saw this and felt a bit better about blindly throwing volts at it.

And turns out the manual I showed a picture of was wrong anyways.


So now I'll have cold beer for the wheeling trips I don't go on.

Got bored with no cruisers to fix. So I started building another tiny home on this 24,000 pound triple axle beef cake of a trailer.

With current prices this might be cheaper than building on… although you’re already well on the way.

$8000

If I had any where to Park it I’d rent it out for $1000/month and be turning a profit within 9 months.

One of the main reasons I'm building this tiny modular is: I have hoarded building supplies for almost a decade. Used double pane windows. Upcycled cedar board n batten. I love how it looks worn with age already and I sure do love patina.

Kinda had the feeling I was being watched in the back yard the other day.

Didn't seem to give much of a s*** about the group of people sitting nearby.

It was probably eyballing the dog...

The young ones are out. We get family batches over by my place. They are pretty noisy too if they want.
But they are the least timid owl I've ever seen, even in daylight. They don't usually bugger off until the Jays
and Robins gang up on them.

Yeah there's tons around our place, wigging the dogs out at night with their freaky owl sex.

Thought this was so amazing I circled around the city block to get some pictures this morning.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around what even happened there!!

I'm trying to wrap my mind around what even happened there!!

I'd guess loose lug nuts for a long time...the nuts are still on the few studs visible but definitely not tight.

How tf do you not notice driving that? Must've shook like a bastard.
Ford tho I guess, probably always shook

I lost a wheel on a trailer once from loose lugs, but they all snapped off, didn't machine themselves holes in the rim.

That's... something

 

[bikersmurf]

Some people shouldn’t be driving. If they didn’t see that coming they are a hazard on the road.

How that wheel is still holding thanks corner off the ground is a mystery.
