Hi all, I've looked through a bunch of the threads and just need an answer to a basic question. I already have a great dual battery setup in my Tacoma, and use an Odyssey PC1200 aux battery to power my Engle MT45 fridge. When stationary, the battery can run the fridge for about 24 hours before fully discharging. I'd like to provide some supplemental power to add to that number and to account for hot days. All I really want is a "trickle charge" solar setup to provide some supplemental charge to the aux battery. I'm looking for a simple setup. What I envision is setting up camp, rolling out a solar panel on the roof, and then plugging it into a hard-wired "trickle charger" and then not worrying about it. I'm not looking to power much beyond the fridge. What would I need?
I'm a big fan of quality, so I'm not afraid to spend a little money to get a professional, reliable, and clean setup. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated, or just point me to a thread that you think might work. Thanks in advance!
