I think more people need to run solar. I spent $200 on my first solar setup, for the panel, wiring, and controller. Kept my battery topped off all day, even during summer. My fridge has been running in the truck for 4 years straight, just off solar.

 

Only 29k miles is pretty impressive though

 

any chance you have a idiot proof work instructions for said set up??

 

Drop truck off at Juniper Overland or other shop and be ready to swipe.

 

Pawpaw only drove it to church on Sundays before he lost his license in 03'

Another "wild fire"

 

If you can jump start your truck you can wire the solar. Just positive to positive, negative to negative. Very simple

 

Instructions unclear.

It was on sale before prime day, $200 off. Actually went to normal price on prime day. It’s 400wh. Fridge pulls about 50w when compressor on. So it could run the compressor for 8hrs straight. Once it’s cooled to temp compressor does not come on for more than 10min/hr. So I figure I get it to temp at home and then maintain with the battery. Should last 48hrs that way. But I’ll keep it topped off while driving so it should be good for much, much longer.

 

reminds me of a rescue in Moab.

What about the full size spare?
