The Fridge

[aussiebulldust]

here is a shot of the other side, hence the name the fridge, with an access hole to fit all the hoses etc for gas

and the queen size bed. This is latex and so good to sleep on. But it is heavy so I'm thinking of swapping it with our one in the house if weight becomes an issue.

thats correct. I was thinking of a bunk to fold down across the bench but my daughter is growing so fast it not worth the effort. Besides she now takes a friend and sleeps in a macpac tent next to the fridge. If we are only going away for a weekend her bed slides out from under the main bed and only her feet are under the bed. Has approx 1.4m of free floor space on the far side without the bench

I'm after advice for a new solar panel as I'm going to upgrade to 60w so we can stay out forever...or at least 2 weeks at a time.
Is there any brand to stay away from? Mono I have been told is the best type for our lower states.
Any ideas

You'll need more than 60W to be self sufficient. At least double that if you're only running the Engel and some efficient lighting.

Are you able to shut the lid of that front box with the leads plugged in? Any particular reason you didn't put the 240V box on the outside, given that it's all waterproof gear?

yes you can close the lid on the box with the lead attached. Ihave a small cutout in the lid lip that is edged and it stays snug even when the box is opened and closed. The reason for it inside is to stop vandals and damaged from stones / mud etc when travelling. It keeps it neat as it would of stuck out unless it was on the front, but then the mud etc. Also even if it rains the socket is protected under the lid where as it could of been exposed to water when the plug or socket were attached.
I'm thinking an 80w panel and upgrade the fridge to a new one that only draws 2 to 3 amps
