We are contemplating buying this identical trailer here. However, they mention the refrigerator runs only on 12v and we don't ever go camping places where we can hook to shore power. Have you tested how long your batteries will keep your fridge cold on batteries alone?

Hi there...ours is a 2022 and it has a standard camp fridge. No 12v its either shore power or propane. The newer models may have 12v though. I would pull up the manual for the one your looking at and verify what it has. If the fridge indeed is 12v only, then I would recommend upgrading to lithium batteries (assuming the new ones still come with flooded lead acid batteries). Ours has 100w of solar (one panel) and I upgraded to lithium. The battery cost me about $260 for 100ah group 24. Then I upgraded the solar controller from 10a PWM to 15a MPPT bluetooth. I also added a temp monitor with networks with the solar controller. The new controller and temp sensor were about $150 total. So now I have a true 100 ah and it will not charge the battery when temps get below 40F to protect it (discharging is still ok). With all that said you need a way to measure your draw from the fridge if its 12v with nothing else in the rig running. Then its a matter of simply calculating how long that that rate of power draw you can run it before the batteries are depleted. Lastly, if you do a lot of off grid multiple lithium batteries and more solar capacity will help you keep things running. Our next rig will have 12v fridge and that seems to be where the industry is going now.
