[QUOTE="7.62marksman, post: 309196, member: 8005"] This is my setup I started with a 80amph battery being charged of a 120w solar panel but the fridge kept flatting the battery over night set on 3 I have now got a 120w solor panel off auto barn it has a built in regulator and is mounted on the roof of my 4x4 (the xl body not veh roof) this is then connected direct to the secondary battery 120amph On a sunny day and with my waco fridge set at 3 going 24 7 it does not go under 13v during the day but over night will drop to about 10.5 All lights tv ect ect are connected to the secondary battery leaving my main start battery just for that only Along with this i have it connected direct to the alternator through a iserlator switch so if i am driving at night it will charge that way as well I have had this setup for 2 years and at this stage i have had no problems at all everything is covered by fuses I know some will say it should not be set up this way but it works and that is the main thing [/QUOTE]
