    My question is what happens if I want to use the panels with my battery box if I take the fridge from the car when base camping with the family (the solar input on the ArkPak bypasses the internal charger/regulator)?

    Thanks Cuppa.
    So I'm thinking, given my solar will only be set up at camp (it's not permanent) I'm better off not mounting the regulator in the car but setting it up as a temporary/portable so I can plug it into either the vehicle or the ArkPak.
    I'm going to get myself one of those in-car chargers too I think.
