I recently purchased a Dometic 80l fridge/freezer. My plan is (if this is possible) to swap it between our Tundra for vacations and our 4Runner for off-road camping trips. I know I have to purchase another battery no matter what setup I run because both vehicles just have OEM type batteries. I thought if I have to buy 2 new batteries (one for each vehicle) might as well explore the possibility of a bigger battery and not have to worry about draining vehicle's battery.
My question's are:
Is there a setup with solar and a battery I could run that would keep the battery full enough to run the fridge without needing to hook it up to anything else? I figure I could fab up some kind of mount to have the solar panel on top of the 4Runner or bedcover, which ever vehicle we are using while driving so it is charging the battery.
If this is possible what do I need to set this up?
If I am crazy and this really isn't possible feel free to tell me.
Thank you for any feedback.
