I read the information at the link below and it looks like a great system...
won't be cheep though...
also, I make the decision to make wire my solar panel on an extension
cord... on the roof is problematic with a pop top.... when up the top may be
facing away from the sun... I try to park my van so that the back of the
fridge is facing north... keeps it cooler... that puts the top facing west
when the it is up... only afternoon sun for a panel up there.... also with a
solar panel on an extension cord you can park the van in the shade and put
the solar panel in the sun :)
