Greetings,seems like ages since visiting the forums though we’ve been exploring lots since our retirement. My wife & I currently travel in our TwoVanConvoy consisting of a Chevy Express AWD & Promaster, both nicely converted for full time adventures.
I’m i the research phase of our next rig-build and learning heavily toward a pop up TC & visiting both the Hallmark & Outfitter facilities this week.
In context of the OP our Promaster has 160watts solar & 190ah AGM bank to power our ARB 35qt chest fridge and change our gadgets. As I post we’ve been 100% off grid for 301 days traveling in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico & currently camping near Pike’s Peak as we make our way to Denver for the visits.
We are always back to 100% charge by mid day even when it is overcast with such a low draw (ave of ~.5ah & have yet to notice bank below 12.4 volts even in winter months)
One thing we will do our best to incorporate is a top loading relatively small 50 to 85 quart compressor fridge rather than a front loading unit due to the greater efficiency.
YMMV
