Those all came from amazon. look for Camco flying insect screens. Amazon is dangerous and may lead to numerous PodMods. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5SGEQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Camco 42154 Flying Insect Screen for Dometic Refrigerator - Model RS 800 - Pack of 6

the truck may charge some, depends on the truck and the setup. You do not want to rely on the truck to get your batteries to a full "state of charge". You want the Pod plugged in to shore power to get the proper charge or a battery charger. Are you running the fridge off of batteries while driving? you dont want to do that. The switch is from Amazon

I have to use a Number bed at home because of 3 back operations. My number is 35 ( soft for dips of hips). I called Number Bed and they said to use 8" Memory foam that is flip able. I got it off Amazon, and laid on it once, and didn't hurt my back. I took the bottom bunk mattress and put it on top to the top rack. Wasn't cheep, but you have to be comfortable. Now draw back, cant lift the bed very high go get to storage. I like the idea of roll out drawer. use a stick to hold bed up while getting into the corners.

I don't understand why the two 12 deep cycle didn't charge while driving? Now I'm worried, heading out for first trip, and have replaced the excide battery with 2 sears deep cycle, style 24 in parallel. I was told by the dealer my truck will keep them charged. Is there any way you can show me how to hook up the battery switch you got and where you get it? I think you can email me. Thanks

What is a recommendation for an inverter? What size and a good brand. mainly to run the TV and a CPAP. I know the cpap amperage is widely variable, but just what others have used that works. Where have you mounted the inverter?

so the water pump does not come on every time you get a drop of water out or the faucet. The tank allows for some storage of water, but the main purpose is as a "store" of pressure. The tank has a bladder that expands and contracts to keep pressure when you use water in the Pod. Make sense?
