Does anyone have ideas on what solar panels are best to run an Engel fridge over an extended camping period. How much do they cost?
maybe try this: Costco - Sunforce 160 Watt Solar Back Up Power Kit with Sharp® Solar Modules Better to have a little extra juice, than not enough. I believe those little guys pull no more than 60 watts at start up.
