    If it was my money i would probably be going fridge and dual batteries first, as i have a tent and could make do for the time being.

    1. Does it lack any features you want?? Ipod, mp3 etc?? Your nav should be up to date at least, whether thats buying a new unit or just maps for your current is your call.

    2.Fridge, Engle or Weaco. Engel if your budget permits but a weaco is still great. Size depends on how long you need to live out of it and whether you want a fridge only or a dual zone (fridge/ freezer).

    3. Same a what bene said, you have the camping gears, should a roof top be first priority?

    4. You can find some pretty good deals on draws if you look around. Be wary of the weight and what you want to keep in it. A custom jobbie might be the answer.

    5. Dual batteries, i would say piranha, mines great. And get a deep cycle battery. A new fridge should last a few days on a decent battery.

    6. Arb twin motor if your pockets are deep. But really anything that will get the job done will suffice for now, mine a super cheap thing and it works great for me.

    7. Inverters are built into fridges. Compressors run off 12v. Unless you want to charge laptops etc shouldnt really need it.


    Fuel and water storage, self recovery, and lift/ wheels for starters. Your suspension might be near new but there are a million different variants that are used for all different setups, work out what you want permanent in yours then look into suspension.

    Your 2" should be ok, depends on how its set up, ie soft or hard. I would be looking into some more aggressive tires, not necessarily muddies but not highway slicks
