Better fridge for JLUR

[Vinman]

So an update. I've now permanently mounted the Iceco JP40 and slide to the Goose Gear plate system, and I spent the money I would have used to upgrade the fridge to upgrade power to a Bluetti AC180P instead, and a Bluetti 1 DC-DC charger. The weakest link is there is no app for the fridge, and thus no way to know or be audibly alerted if the fridge loses temp or goes above 40°.

EDIT: Now that it arrived, the Bluetti is FAR too big to fit on the back shelf of the Jeep. I can no longer see out the back window, and that is 100% out of the question for me. I know some people stuff that shelf with gear but I can't drive like that. And with a Trasharoo in place for trips I don't have access to the rear camera either.

Guys, I seriously need help here. It shouldn't be all that hard to keep a fridge powered 24/7 in a modern vehicle but everything I try has a show-stopper problem that I don't have the knowledge or experience to overcome.

My goal is simple: I only want to power the fridge, and nothing else, but it needs to stay alive and at temp without having to plug the Jeep in at home, as I don't have a way to do that easily without disrupting everything on our driveway and deck. I'll do it once a week or before a long road trip, but any more than that and it's just a pain for the family. This is now my number one priority, and cost isn't really a big issue (to a point). I'll gladly throw money at this until it's solved. I can't believe anything this simple is really this hard!

An electronic rear view mirror will take care of rearward visibility and a roof mounted solar panel will take care of charging the Bluetti to power your fridge during extended inactivity.

I like the idea of an electronic mirror. I've heard of them but never used one. So long as they have the guide marks as the OEM ones do, that's the important part for me. I would love to have a calibrated rear-view camera mounted in such a way that I could use a Trasharoo over the rear tire.

I've got my Bluetti Charger 1 installed and it's working great, and i would like to consider at least a 100W Renogy solar panel on the roof rack to help keep it topped up when I'm not driving anywhere for a few days.
