Hey Cole,
Can you tell me how you attached these to the seat so they will slide when the bed opens? I'm a little stumped with this.... Thank you!!

Hey Cole,

I'm also interested in how you integrated these units with the auxillary circuit in the van. Do you have them hooked up so the engine will charge the batteries while driving? Do you use them with solar panels? If so, do you just setup a panel facing the sun and run a cord to the yeti's or is there a more integrated setup somehow? Finally, have your redirected the 12v sockets in the van to connect with these guys (versus running on the aux battery under the driver seat?).

I'm asking because we picked up two of these units (Amazon ran a huge sale) and an Engel 12v fridge and am debating the best way to put all of the pieces together.

thanks!

We have hooked them up to the car charging system in the past. The basic issue is that the input can only be so much and the solar panels can easily max that themselves.

We have run 90-180watts on top of these vans depending on the set up. The dual set up has two 90w panels and they are chained together.

This runs a 43Q fridge non-stop without issue.

Basically all of the factory lights, outlets and fridge port run off the Yetis.
