Will a 100 watt solar panel be enough
Just looking for a way to keep the battery (single 12 volt) charged while going down the road and run the fridge and a few led lights when boondocking. I would like to get by with just a single 100 wa...

I have to agree with adding a second 100 watt panel. I thought I could make it on 100 watts of solar, but it just wasn't enough. With 200 watts in the summer with high sun and little furnace use, it was easily enough. I now have 420 watts and only have to run the generator if it is very cold and the furnace usage is very high. We can watch as much tv and use everything that we want, except the microwave and air conditioner. I am going to add at least two more 100 watt panels to make up for the very cloudy days.
The lack of battery capacity works against your setup, so more solar helps even more. Another "side effect" of having more solar, is more shade on your roof in the summer sun, keeping things a little cooler inside.
