Same here really hot all year round, but more humid in our "summer" months (we only have two seasons, wet and dry) just thought if you can have aircon, and its great set up BTW. You can have a fridge. I use Engels, which are pretty much considered the best in terms of reliability and toughness, but there are plenty of cheap 12 v fridges available now. You can even use it as a freezer, and make ice for your coolers as well as storing frozen goods. Any way, nice camp set up mate.

Love the loft you designed and I’d like to borrow that idea if I have the right shell for it. I’m most envious of the price of your shell. Well done 👍🏻 I’ll be watching this video again
