    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Man-O-Man Jimbo, I love that Tentrax off-road trailer. Someday... We have been enjoying our Kelty. Green River 6, tent, here in flat, level, dry Florida, but when we start heading west, I don't want to depend on favorable terrain. Also your ENGEL is a lot newer model. I can't wait to get...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Sounds easy to prepare and delicious... I will try your recipe this weekend... Another ENGEL question. Mine arrived from Texas today and it looks and works like new. On the rear of the top there is a sticker that says "TURBO FAN cooling booster". Is the feature on all of the MT35's or is this...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Another important question... What is "Wensledale" cheese like? Similar to? Can we buy it in the states (of America)? I love to eat cheese but most of all I love cutting the cheese.:wings: This weekend I am going to leave my ENGEL on for about 48 hours, half full of liquids and solids and see...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Amazon panel had bad reviews I figure whichever set up I buy, I want it to last me a long time. I also want to be able to combine several panels if I need more power. The reviews suggested the panels were not built as well as the heavier rigid panels and perhaps produced less power per square...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Thanks UK4X4 Thank you very much... I have found a couple of 80 watt systems that would wind up being around $600.00, with the charge controller. "Lets see. The fridge cost $600.00 plus panels and battery, $600.00, etc. Thats about $1,200.00. Our old ice chest cost $50.00. How many bags of...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Thanks Corey. Thanks Jimbo. I appreciate the information. I will just keep my 10W panels for a constant trickle. I am going to start looking for a PVC too. I understand I will need a charge controller. Any suggestions as to source? Manufacturer? Cost? Thanks I owe you a beer. Now it will be...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Good idea Andrew. We are doing an overnighter this weekend. I will set the Powerflex up to trickle through my cigarette lighter and see how it does as far as keeping it a little longer. I will have a second vehicle in case it doesn't work and I have to jump-it. I'll post the results... Voyageur

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    Dang it! I knew it was too good to be true. Well time to go shopping again. I guess I could use my Powerflex set up (10WATT) to charge my cell phone or something like that. Same question, different approach. If I run my 'Overy engine for 15 minutes a day (twice a day) to charge my Optima...

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    You are correct.. :oops: It is amps not watts... Same question Andrew, will it work? Dang! I thought I had it all figured out. Wish I understood OHM's law instead of OMMMM's law. Thanks, David

    ENGEL Fridge - solar panel question

    I think this doable but I would like advice from someone who actually knows. Scenario: I just bought an ENGEL 35 from a lead on this forum (Craigslist). I just bought a pair of 5 watt solar panels (from a list member) that daisy chain, for a total output (dependent on sun) of 10 watts...

    Thank you Expeditionvan... I called Joe last week, arranged for pick-up and bought the ENGEL. I have wanted one for a long time and this one is like new. I never would have seen the ad, if you hadn't posted it on the forum... Very cool. David

    Limb lifters, Branch busters with ARB bumper

    Howdy, I want to add a set/pair (or whatever you call them) of cable type, tree branch "keeper offers" - "windshield wiper savers" to my 1996 Disco I. I have an ARB bumper and an SD rack. I know they go from the outside top corners of the bumper (brush bar) to the outside, upper part, of the...

    Hella 500's on Disco II Brush bar????

    I recently hit the Hella 500 special, on Amazon.com, and bought two pair. One set for our RV and the second for my wife's 1999 Discovery II. The D II is equipped with a factory brush bar. Problem is, the bottom of the light hits the top of the round brush bar in such a way, that the mounted...
