With the new residential fridge we installed, we followed that up with a new Lifeline battery bank (31XTs) and 290 watts of Zamp solar panels. Install here.
Heglmeier said:Looks good John. Do you even have room on the roof for another panel?
SargeW said:Outstanding work John! Now you will have to start boondocking more! So with all that power on the roof, what will that allow you to run, and for how long?
Harry B said:Nice job John.
Where did you install the additional battery bank and how are you charging them from shore power?
Howard Rawley said:Good project, nice write up.
Thanks John!

Kevin Means said:Boy, you have no idea how helpful this write-up has been John. As Cyndi and I continue to shop for our "retirement RV" the issue of solar panels and residential refrigerators has been a big concern of mine. We enjoy boondocking so solar is definitely in our future. Exactly how much is the question.
I don't mind running my generator, but if I can significantly reduce the need to do so with solar, it's worth it to me. Something about that quietness appeals to me. I can't wait to hear future updates on your system's real-world performance.
