I ordered a Jackery 1500. (I like overkill and they are having a great sale on that model) My question is, are you running your fridges successfully off of the rear DC plug while driving without issues? I am planning on using that plug until I park at camp spots, then plugging it into my Jackery. I will be running an ICECO Fridge. Any experience is appreciated.

What I've done in the past is plug the battery pack into the rear DC outlet, and then plug the fridge itself into the battery pack. That way the battery pack is always charged (or close to it) when I stop my vehicle. It also allows me to not have to think about switching the fridge over the battery pack after park the Bronco.

BUT, that requires the battery pack to allow pass-through charging, and I'm not sure the Jackery 1500 does.

It does allow pass through and that is a great idea. Thanks for the info.

I've done the same with a 250 rockpals and a 600 bluetti in the Bronco, works great.

I'm doing the same as RagnarKon just with a Dometic CFX3 25 and a EF Ecoflow Delta Mini.
