My old 91 SMB had a 12 volt frig and single solar panel that didn't do the job for long encampments. I had a camper w/ propane frig so I put that in and solved my frig needs. We winter in Baja and sometimes don't start van for 2 weeks. Anyhow I got a 05 SMB last Dec with small 12 Volt frig that got me by this winter. It's too small and I'm remodeling cabinets and have a 2 year old propane frig, so I thought that would my route. I trust propane frigs, though my 12 volt frig worked decently this year. So I thought I'd go propane. Today I had a change of heart a bit. I realized a 12 volt frig would fit into my cabinet scheme better than propane, not needing venting. My next question is will my 2 solar panels that produce 10 amps max and my 18" AGM battery be enough for a bigger frig, like 18"x24"?
