We are currently really enjoying the Lake Havasu and Parker area. Our Sprinter feels like a space ship, is great.
My question: I have a fringe/freezer combo for FM-62DZ Whynter 62 Quart Dual Zone Portable Fridge/ Freezeri like everything about it but the 4.5 amp draw. 2/100 watt panels and one 105 amp house battery is not cutting it, even in ideal Arizona sun.
Do I bump up to 400 watts solar on top and another battery?
I see some fridges use way less (like 1.5 amps) would that be an option, new fridge, leave the rest alone? The rest of our consumption is very low.
So...more power or new fridge? Please shout out if you like yours.
