Setup in pic is just a temp
All of 12 hours? What do you do, camp for one day at a time?
I cant see how that's gonna work without solar or driving every day or so. Especially not with all the other demands from the camper.
100 watts of solar would let this run practically indefinitely as the compressor dosent run continuous and the furnace could be off or turned way down in the day.
This setup uses nearly the identical wattage as a 12 volt compressor . Did you miss the part about the furnace running?
Look at a map sometime.
No, I didnt miss the part about the furnace running.
I just missed the part about having 100 watts of solar......because it wasnt there. That's why I mentioned that you will need solar. That setup wont last for multiple days, unless you plan on driving every day or running a generator.
Yeah, it worked for 12 hours but what state was your battery at, afterwards? Below 50%? Possibly.
Someone else mentioned............if you go with a compressor fridge, figure in the cost of solar, because it is essential if you boondock.
