CYi5,
I don't have a fridge, but I do have HAM radios and a bunch of LED lighting that gets used when I camp. I went with the 30W mostly because the "unbreakable" only comes in that size. I also wanted to keep the battery topped up when I park it between trips. There should be enough room for a second panel if I do get a fridge, however. At this point, I've got a few more mods I rather spend $500+ on.
I just got my LED flood lights, so I should have a post on that shortly.

I'm diggin' your solar setup. We have pretty similar methods for preventing battery drainage in the field. Do you think 30 watts is enough to keep your battery topped off? I'm not sure if you were planning to add a fridge or not, but I read on here around 60w is the magic number for fridge duty. I suppose they could always be doubled up in the future, just curious on your take on the setup.
