My goal is to make a slick removable 12v system for my fridge. My idea is a deep cycle group 31 or 34 in boat battery box powered by a float charger while at home and by the solar system when camping.
I just picked up my first fridge today, a Norcold MRFT-630. Trying to figure out what the best course of action is for my application especially because the fridge won't be permanent in my truck.
I am currently planning on a 60 watt panel for solar so in a perfect world 5 amps charging. Which we know isn't the case.
Another option is to use the factory 110v in the bed of my truck to run the fridge when running and hard wire in a relay and install a switch in cab to switch it over to 12v when I stop and install a big single battery. I would still use a solar panel to keep the big single up on juice. I'd have to figure out how to hard wire the 12v side of the fridge.
