In my Alaskan for a refrigerator/freezer I went with the NovaKool R3803 that is a good size (100L) and can sit lower than most since it has a stepped back and the compressor on top.  Made to fit the hull of a boat but works well for truck campers.  It is DC/AC but I went with DC only since it it is cheaper.  For your application if you are only using the camper for duck hunting a chest type DC fridge may work just as well since you don't need the size for a day or two and it can be removed and used for other things.  Another option would be a truck fridge that are smaller and cheaper.  Here is the NovaKool:   https://www.suremari...25/R3803DC.html

Thats a good idea. i ordered a iceco chest style. I can use it here and in the boat!

 

 

I also just picked up marine paint from sherwin williams. Its catalyzed so should hold up well.

Thank you mighty dodge!


Couple things. Does anybody know what these tiedown looking brackets are for? My first guess was traditional camper style tiedown rods.

Secondly, does anybody have a extra pair of badging for the sides?

Don't have any extra badges and they are not cheap when they show up on eBay.  The latest ones that sold were about $100 each.  An alternative is a decal.  This place has them but don't know much about them.  Scroll down and they are listed there.

This is the reply i got, 

 

 

My Alaskan decals come in a set of two for $38.00.

All my decals are made when ordered. I drew the Alaska to appear dimensional like the original emblem but are flat vinyl full color decals.
They are printed on the new Epson 10 color archival "fine art" printer, over twice the number of colors used in traditional decals. This yields the highest quality, most vibrant, and longest lasting decals anywhere.  The substrate material is an industrial exterior commercial sign vinyl made for this printing process. I then laminate the printed vinyl image with an additional UV-resistant vinyl layer to add protection and yield the gloss surface. The decal is die-cut so there is no rectangular background.
My turnaround time is now a week to ten days.
I have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
U.S. shipping is free.
If this might work for you, let me know and I can email you an invoice.
Thanks!

Lanny

Update of the week. It’s 100 degrees out but I got the solar panels on the roof. And for whatever reason the phone doesn’t like to upload images. I’ll try from my work computer tomorrow.
