I'm not sure you're going to get much power off an inverter with a 100w solar system. Most mini fridges draw around 1 amp, which translates to 110 watts. But that's A/C. You'll lose power when you...

My Scamp came with the 5-wire plug shunted into a 4-wire, with a 12v plug attached under the sink area. I put one of those battery setups under the driver's side bench and it's great. I have a water...

I used the liquid BF, and for tough stains, I also used a Magic Eraser to scrub the BF in. It stripped everything off, but my Scamp was so oxidized when I got it, that was the only choice.

Yes, yes. This isn't my first camping trip :-)

I carry a third pole and a 3 1/2" length of a 2x4 (a square) with a hole drilled halfway through. That way I can "tent" the awning when needed.

Thanks, all. I installed the bottom vent about 2" above the cabinet floor. I'll put the upper vent in when I have saved the $ for a 3-way.
