Portable fridge/freezer temps

[nowoolies]

What temps do you run your fridge/freezer on while you're away camping?

I've got a 95lt EvaKool fridge/freezer.

Thanks.

Top prices there mate. I prefer monocrystaline panels but the technology is constantly changing. The most important part of any solar system is the regulator, you don't want to penny pinch on regulators you get what you pay for.

Thanks Paul. I watched the vid about my fridge (95lt) and it needs a 120w solar panel to run it. Any chance on getting a price for me on that? Thanks. Ross

g`day Ross
ill ask the question to him nowoolies
but just a thought if you run 2 x 80 watts , my thinking, a little left over on the amps =40 watts spare ????
i dont know a lot about solar hopefully some one else could help with the wattage and running of solar panels

Problem with that is where to put 2 panels. I would probably lean towards 1 x 120 watt panel witha good quality 20 amp regulator.

I was looking at the 120watt portable unit like this one...

Watched the vid and was impressed. My problem is there are tooooo many choices and now I'm confused. I could easily fit a fixed panel or two on the roof of my pod, too. There are lots of options for me to chose from. I just need to sit down and think about what I want to do. I know everything won't run off my second battery and there's so many creature comforts I want. lol

"I looked into getting a solar panel but I haven't got a spare $900 - $1k for a 120watt panel yet."

Sounds a bit steep - depends on what they are.

But I bought can get a 3 x 40W fold up panels complete with a controller and 10 metre lead for around $750.00 about 3 months ago. Let me know if you want the details.

Sorry to be so strong about my opinions on this topic but this has been an ongoig issue with me for a couple of years. I originally had my panel as a portable unit & now a hard monted unit. Portable yes you can sunchase it & get optimum efficiency but you have to sunchase it [stuffing around with it every hour or so] & store it somewhere in your vehicle , pull it out set it up pull it down pack it away.
Hard wired - it's allways up there always on always getting power [i've even on a clear night got a little power from the moonlight]

2 cents worth.
