You don't connect your fridge to your solar panel, your solar panel charges your battery, the you connect your fridge to the battery. Have a read of this article if you would like more detail - www.snowys.com.au/blog/solar-formula-for-your-4wd-setup/. ~ Ben
Thanks Ben. That's the best explanation of set-up and use that I've seen. Very practical

Anderson plugs are fine in the rain, their design mitigates any issues, you see them on the outside of vehicles all the time. ~ Ben
