Trailer, Class A, C's do not reply to this post please.
Most of us "CAMPER" folks do not have much more room for over 200watts of solar.
Some of you guys that own one of these fridges should use a trimetric or equivalent and tell us your Amp hour usage for 24 hrs. in cold and hot weather.
The way I see it, if the amp draw is 5 amps when running and the fridge only runs 1/4 of the time that would be 1.25 AH..
1.25 AH X 24hrs =30 AH....
Our rig is setup as lean as it can be for AH use. We rarely hook up to shore power except when home.
We use about 20AH Summer and 25AH Winter per day.
So If I have one of these Compressor fridges using the above "MINIMUM RUN" numbers I would be pulling 50AH to 55AH per day.
I have 200watts of solar... During the summer and winter there would be no way that I could keep up...
I would need to run the Gen to complement the charging...
Most of us solar guys have solar to keep us from using our gen's and we prefer quiet.
Lastly, over the past 40+ years my beer, milk, steaks have stayed sufficiently cold using Absorption Fridges as have 10 of thousands of folks so I don't quite get the need for a AMPAHOLIC compressor fridge.
