Cool 2021 Wolf Pup 18TO Battery & Solar, TV, and Fridge

Hopefully someone can help answer a few questions here..
1) Does the TV run off battery or does it have to be connected to shore power?
2) How easy is it to install a second battery and is that the easiest and cheapest way to ensure the fridge never runs out of power (I have seen some threads about juice packs/solar battery options not keeping the fridge going constant)
3) What are some simple mods or life hacks you all have done with some of these Wolf Pup TTs?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered.
1. it depends on the TV some newer LED TVs plug into 110V but have a transformer in the plug that runs the TV on 12V Check the TV you may be able to modify it to a 12V plug.
2. What frig are you talking about elect/propane or a residential frig? makes a big difference.
3. Use the search box at the upper part of the page or go to the library there tons of articles on mods.

Do lots of research. Depends a lot on what your plan is and the fridge.

On my WP 16BHSBL they put a 110v GFCI plug next to the TV mount so they're assuming you're using a standard TV, which means shore power.

They do make some decent (but pricey) 12v Televisions, but at least in my trailer I'm not sure where I would power it from.

1) My TV is 120v, so it does have to run off of shore power
2) I have the same setup as you, but have not considered a 2nd battery as it only gives you one more day. I have shore at home, the truck keeps the battery in route and shore or generator at my site. Save your money for a generator if you plan to boondock
3) My best improvement was buying a gel topper for our bed, I also had to make some adjustment to the refrigerator latch after we arrived with most of our fridge content on the floor and I have seen a lot of comments about this happening. I think what happens is the door settles on its hinges and the latch between the fridge and freezer door allows the latch to easily unlatch, so I took the fridge latch out of the top of the door and added some shims to raise it back up. Honestly not much else other than lots of accessories.
