When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

My "el-cheapo" Campmaster is about the same age and still going strong. For some time it has been running permanently - started as a test to see if the solar panel / battery could keep up with the power demand on a low setting. Battery is about ½ in the mornings but fully charged again before midday.
The additional fridge might be a good idea so that I don't have to move the old Campmaster from one vehicle to another and it can stay permanently in the LTD SFA. The 2nd fridge (new one) can sleep in the RAV and I'll just move it over to the V6 SFA whenever I need to.
Not a necessity, just a "nice to have", but at that price it's too hard to turn down.

A 3 year warranty is offered and the specs are quite impressive, but how good are their compressors?
