    I have a MRF 45 Engel with transit cover, I found as you have that the cover doesn't really make any great difference. However I had some Kingspan under roof insulation which is about 8 to 9 mm thick and about R2 insulation value so I put 2 layers under the Engel not covering the compressor vents and one layer around 3 sides of the fridge box with the transit cover back on. that made considerable difference in time between compressor cycling. Engel seems to lose a lot of temp out of the bottom of the fridge for some reason. I wondered about air flow through the mesh problem which you have proven to be an issue. Thank you for the video

    I absolutely dont have the money for a new cv axel let alone all these special tools. I do have a shit ton of tools. Everything i have it should have came off. I just now got the 12 point 30 mm cv axel nut off the front of the hub and now the hub bolts on the back of the hub assembly are seized and the cv boot is exactly behind them i can barly get ANY tool in there to even try to get the bolts out but the little i can get a tool onto these bolts it's just NOT grabbing and its so seized the vehicle cant move 😢 do you have any tips for these bolts on the back of the hub? I had to heat up the 12 point cv nut for 10 minutes then take a candle and melt it on there. Wait 5 minutes then i gave it my every bit of strength with a 5ft breaker bar with a 3 ft extension to get the one nut free. Idk what to do at this point. It's been a week, and i just now got this 1 bolt off 😢. All of this because i took my baby to a piece of shit disingenuous "mechanic" when i had not even time to shower and never checked. Never ever again will anyone ever touch my vehicles but me. I paid over $400 to have the front 2 hubs done and they were never even touched. 😔if you get back to me i would appreciate it so much if not ill be bustin my ass trying to save my truck today. After a nap. 😮‍💨

    I always assumed the cover made a difference where you couldn't get the fridge in the shade. When boating wy icebox gets smoking hot in the sun, now after buying a portable fridge I'm building a DIY cover for it so the cover can soak up the sun and not directly heat up the top of the fridge. Won't be using mesh in front of the ventilation holes tho ;)

    I love my 15brass for day trips or solo trips. Only thing I hate is it uses more power than my 60L engel

    I use the dent crimpers often found on stamped plate wire strippers on the handles just before the jaws. Light force results in a dent about 2mm diameter, 1mm deep. I do one about 3mm from the bottom of the wire receptacle (where it becomes a cylindrical shape, just above the dome) and another about 4mm higher, on the opposite side. I strip the wire to expose 2-3mm more than the depth of the receptacle. I then fill it to the level of the upper edge of the second dent with molten solder (usually that's about 3/4 full), heat the contact and bottom of the receptacle for 10 seconds using a butane torch, and jam the wire in hard so the strands have to bend to allow the entire stripped length to go in. The dents aren't deep enough to obstruct the wire, but once the solder solidifies it is virtually impossible to remove the wire even if the solder completely breaks free and separates from the inside surface of the connector, because the shape of the solder plug makes any movement impossible, and the bent wire strands also greatly reduce the likelihood of slippage (which is already extremely unlikely but I figure it can't hurt to make it even less likely).
