 > Dometic CFX 35 12V compressor fridge, 105 amp deep cycle house battery with manual switch run off the van battery. The fridge will run 2 days off the house battery before charging. I have a 100 watt portable solar panel which depends on where you are and amount of sun etc. In Arizona it mostly keeps the fridge running full time but in Canada the solar is spotty at best. - hobitarm((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/dzt9df/questions_for_minivandwellers/f8up5p7/)) > Dometic CFX 35 12V compressor fridge, 105 amp deep cycle house battery with manual switch run off the van battery.

 > We have 640w total from four 160w panels on the top of BoB. Feeds into a 200ah lithium battery.  Power draws are the 5 cubic foot fridge/freezer (12v), the MaxxFan in season, the microwave through the 1000w inverter. All that certainly does not need the 640w, even in the winter here in WA state. And then there's our 12v A/C unit. It draws 32-40 amps when operating. And when are we most likely to use it? When its warm and there's full sun. With the BlueSky MPPT controller, I can see 35-40 amps incoming from the panels. -- Zyzzyx((http://www.promasterforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62682)) > We have 640w total from four 160w panels on the top of BoB.

 > We run 2 ~60w laptops, 2 phones, lights and a fridge (all 12v) on 600 Watts of panels with 3 125ah batteries. It works well unless it's overcast and rainy for a few days in a row.  We started with 400w and upgraded after running the batteries too low a few times.
