Solar power

It seems this guy has kits at a pretty good price. The Asunpower kits seem like a good choice to just hook up to the battery and then run a fridge/laptop/chargers out of the car.

Thoughts? Looks like for about $1000 you could have a brand name fridge and offgrid charging unit so your battery doesn't die.

:sombrero: $400 bucks seems like a decent price for that set-up, but it's from ebay ???

Read some reviews on the panel and I don't see the weight or cable hookup arrangement and that can be important

The only trouble with a 15 amp controller, is overkill, you will be dealing with 0 to a max of 2+ amps so, I would question the accuracy of that controller

What the heck, ya lays your money and ya takes your chances !!

true - although I'm not going to jump on anything yet. Heck, I don't even have my lift installed yet! I'd probably get a fridge first and then see how it works. I'm thinking an Engel 45 will be my first choice on a slide out from the rear liftgate.

I'm going on a week long expedition next week and will be using dry ice and coolers...depending on how that works, I might just order a fridge when i get back

:sombrero: Good move SW, but a lift has nothing to do with camping !!
