@frankm27522 ай бұрын
I did the first test ac Wall outlet power (max mode) in my hot garage. The empty inside of the cooler starting temp was hot about 86 f. This morning I brought the cooler in my house and repeated the test, empty cooler inside temp starting in the 60s. Now came to temp 0 freezer and 37 refrigerator degrees farenhight in 36 minutes the same as you got in yours. I guess the compressor needed time to regulate. Maybe the cooler was not shipped in level position. I did leave it unopened in level position for 24 hours before trying it out as recommended in the manual. Maybe 24 hours was not enough time. Thanks for doing that timing test on your video as it helped me compare to my own test. I will continue to test now with my ecoflow river 2 pro dc power. Thanks for your feedback.

@WarthogOverland4 ай бұрын
I did do a 1 yr review last month and still have no regrets. I was flipping back and forth for about a month like you are before getting the 2.5. I am still higher then other 2.5 brands. Did the Jeep Blessing with Trail Expedition who's on a 2.5 AEV and he couldn't believe I was only on a 2.5. My biggest 2.5 reason was driveshafts. I wanted the steering kit over driveshafts. Also if I wanted to move up down the road to 3.5, I only need to change the springs or just add spacers. I actually feel if I did go with 3.5 Clayton, my 37's would look small. The package says 2.5, the invoice says 2.5, but your really getting 3+ because of there spring rates and little to no sag.

How difficult was the trail?
@WarthogOverland4 ай бұрын
Drummond does have its difficult sections such as "Tight n twisties", "TankTraps", and "Mu's Nemesis" which do have some bypasses but overall I would say the onX ratings of "Blue" are pretty spot on. There are pleanty of trails on Drummond that are scenic and stock friendly. Now stock friendly meaning it will put you and your ride through the paces of line decisions and questionable obsticles (water holes or rutted mud holes). I do have some other Drummond Island videos that you should check out, night and day difference between 2022 and 2023 due to the season was less rainy. Majority of the area is a rocky bottom except for Tank Traps (that has bypasses) and I believe tight twisties (which I have never attempted). If your from an area that has mostly mild trails or new to trailing, Drummond is a great place to go and advances your skills and knowledge of how you and your ride perform.
