    So I’m trying to turn my truck into a camper and live out of it for traveling purposes. I just purchased a Dometic 75 CFX and was wondering if anyone had some experience or ideas on a power source that would be self sustaining. I’ve been looking at the GOAL ZERO YETI 400 POWER STATION + BOULDER 100 SOLAR KIT. Would that be enough?

    You should be fine. The panel provides roughly as much power as is required to run the Dometic constantly so with it cycling it should be able to recharge a bit. Might want to run on the 120v port though... not sure how well the 10A headroom on the 12v port will handle the spike when the compressor kicks on.

    However, for that cost, you can add a dual battery kit and solar to the truck (and then some). That might be a better idea unless you actually need the portability.
