    Some quick items of note, the new 200W solar panels no longer have the ability to directly charge a cell phone or other USB powered device like the 100W panels do.

    I ran my Iceco 12v fridge from the Pro 2000 and it went from 98% down to 39% over the course of 4 days and 2 hours....so maybe the 2000 isn't overkill for running a 12v fridge if you need it to run for a week with no supplemental charge.

    FYI - I just received that 25A outlet and its construction is 100x better. I'm pretty confident it won't burn up, but I think I'm still going to switch to power poles. I've got another cigarette outlet in the camper shell that could use an upgrade.

    Thinking about it a little bit, cigarette style plugs are pretty lousy designs for constant current at a high-ish amperage. The current passes through a partially or fully compressed spring, which I'm sure makes a damn fine resistor.
