Solar Panel
 
I recently purchased a KZ C231BHKSE Travel Trailer and am interested in information on power consumption and ability to utilize the refrigerator while camping off grid. (The fridge is a Everchill Model WD-282FWDC) My trailer is pre-wired for a Furrion Portable Solar Power Charger. The question is if I purchase a 300w solar panel which looks like it is limited to 10A, how long can I realistically use the refrigerator before the battery will not hold a charge. Conversely, how much solar / battery capacity would I need to add to camp off grid?

How many Watts is your fridge? Power=VA. I replace my Jk batteries every 4yrs and they have a reserve capacity of 120min. Use the old ones for home power backup. Can get under 3hrs at 60 Watts (small LED TV, WIFI) fully charged before the voltage drops below 12.
