Join me and Tony Barthel (from Stressless Camping) for an hour-long webcast this Wednesday, June 11th at 7:00pm, on how much solar and battery is needed for a 12-volt DC refrigerator
I currently have (2) small 12vdc powered portable units that use DC to run the freon pump, or Maybe refrigerant pump might be a better term. Is it term freon still acceptable?Both 20+ years old, can't remember the brand... Can you expand on 1 - if the larger units use the same general principle? 2 - can we expect the current full size units to be of the same quality and reliability?
I have a 22’ travel trailer and wish to convert to a 12v Dometic 8 cu ft. Fridge. I’m interested in the actual amp hrs. Of use in summer; say 85 degrees outside temp. Chris
I have a 22 ft travel trailer. It came with an 1800w inverter and a 200w solar panel with a PWM controller rated for 30 amps. There is plenty of open space on the roof. I upgraded the battery to 1 300ah lipo. I HAVE A 12 magic Chef fridge. I run two max air roof vent fans and a small 120v fan all night. I make a pot of coffee in the morning with a household drip coffee maker which I turn off as soon as the coffee is ready. How much more solar, first can I add to my current controller, and second do I need to keep up with my usage?
Thanks for making this available. Will this session be recorded? I will be traveling and not able to view it live. Thanks - Jim
Yes, it will be recorded and available to watch on YouTube anytime after the webcast.
