Hi Everyone:

Went camping at Prado Lake this past weekend for the beginning of Blackstar =
Camp-out 2014. Great VW event (minus the ants) but we completely ran out of =
propane for the first time and was unable to "fuel" our Dometic fridge our f=
inal evening. We usually camp with an extra cooler between the front seats b=
ut was wondering if anyone has any experience/views on the Dometic/Waico Coo=
lfreeze CF-18. Only $300 on RV Parts Country

18-DC.html

Specs say an average consumption of 35Watts. I have an 80W solar panel with =
a 55Ah aux battery that I was hoping to power this with - do you think my se=
t-up would be enough to power this? We live in Southern California so sunshi=
ne is not an issue. I'm also completely happy with how our Domectic 182 work=
s normally and don't need a Truckfidge

As a side note - it took 3.4 gallons to fill my propane tank???

Thanks - John.
