FYI the Fridge uses a ton of 12v power most people run the fridge on propane and save the battery power for the things the really need like lights and TV
Yep if you read my first post I make it clear I do not use the 12 volt heating element. This is still all up in the air. I may wire it the right way too! I really want a 12 volt fridge but that is going to wait a while I think. :)
We have had a great 6 year run of dry camping with a 7.5CuFt 12V fridge with almost no genny or shore power. Started with 195W solar which was a little lean, ended up with 330W. 4 6V AGM 's were key in having enough storage when the sun was not full sun. Solar does work as long as you do not expect the same usage as on shore power.
Good luck on getting your feet wet with solar..
