hi all,


I am looking for help regarding solar panel, aux. battery, generator and
the such...


your share of experiences and advices will be greatly appreciated...


the van(s):


- '89 tin top with a group 41 battery under driver's seat linked to the
main battery via an isolator
- a 62qt Whynter fridge connected to either the aux. battery or to the main
battery.


- the fridge would run the battery flat after about 4 hours with engine off
- no problem with running engine


I am looking for infos and choice on the followings:


- a deep cycle battery to fit under the driver seat, bigger than the one at
Van Cafe or GoWesty (I have one but it's too small)


- good portable solar panel to run the fridge and charge the battery when
the engine is not running


- may be a good quiet generator if I won't use the solar panel...


in short a way to run the fridge when going camping


thanks in advance,


dan
