160 watt solar panel enough?

Interesting results.

While you're in the testing mode how about trying a variation:

Set fridge to 3 dots and after the sun goes down switch to propane overnight and then to propane the next day. See where the battery ends up at the end of the day.

Today I will travel with my fridge on DC, and see what the batteries are like after 4 hours. I suspect with both the truck charge, combined with that from my 240W of solar, I should be just fine.

Will do, Ron. So far have no answers to propane failure when driving. I’ve added a wind shield in front of the piezo, changed the regulator, dumped the fan controls, re-aimed the flue stack, blown out lines, removed the freezer compartment and kissed the blarney stone. You can only take so many road test trips in a week.

Jim I will be trying that next chance I get, but with no solar.
