Frequently asked
Is 12V refrigeration a meaningful upgrade from 2-way fridge?
Yes for solar/lithium setups. 12V runs entirely from battery so propane lasts longer, but draws ~30-50 Ah per day requiring solar to recharge. Older 2-way fridges use LP overnight and electric on shore power.
What's Triple Seal Protection?
Adventurer's term for three layers of weather sealing on roof joints, sidewall transitions, and window flanges, reducing the most common water-intrusion failure points over time.
Does the 2027 model still come in Overlander Edition?
Yes per published spec. The 400W solar Overlander Edition trim continues into 2027 with the upgraded composite construction.
