What’s the right power solutions for me?

Hey TW,
Fairly new here, but have been reading a ton of threads. I’ve got a new 2021 TRD OR I’m looking to setup for camping/adventuring. Sometime early next year, I’ll be getting a Super Pacific camper and am trying to decide how I want to setup the electrical. After an obsessive amount of research, I have an idea of what I want to do but would appreciate any criticisms or feedback from y’all.

What I’ll be powering:
Biggest draw will be a fridge, probably a Dometic CFX45. Other than that, I’m going to wire in some Hardkorr lights into the camper to use in the evenings and then just occasional charging of electronics.

How I’ll power it:
Right now, I’m leaning towards the KISS approach of upgrading to a group 27F AGM battery. That seems like it should have enough juice to power everything with the car parked for a day or two and it will charge quickly when I drive it.

The other option I seriously considered was a Jackery or Goal Zero, but the charge rate would be much slower while driving, limited to the 12v cigarette lighter, or else setting up solar panels while camped, which seems like a more complex solution. I also like the idea of being able to have the lights hardwired to a fuse block in the bed, which would also give me the option to add other circuits in the future. Most of the trips I take would be a 2 or 3 days, but I just wrapped up a couple of weeks camping around the desert and I’d want any setup to be able to be self-sustaining on the road.

Anyway, thanks for your help everyone!

 

Put in a 27f agm and get a cascadia4x4 hood mounted solar panel. I’ve run my fridge for a week plus without starting the truck with this setup. Should be more than enough power

 

Thanks for the reply, @Shellshock. I considered adding solar, but was thinking that just driving for a few hours every 2 days should be sufficient.

If I did add solar, that cascadia4x4 solution is super slick. Is there a reason you’d recommend that over just mounting a 100w panel on top of the camper though?

 

Also, wanted to share a photo from the recent desert trip with y’all. Loving the new truck!

 

If you are on the move all the time, that’s probably sufficient. That’s what I did prior to adding my solar panel. Really just comes down to how much it’ll be running vs parked and your power consumption. Solar gives you more flexibility and you don’t have to worry about it.

the hood is pretty much unusable space anyway and will get fairly good input all day long. Wire runs are short and install is super easy. Mounted on top of a wedge, you’ll need to be more conscious of the direction you are pointed. You would also lose your solar if you ever took the camper off vs having it mounted to truck.
