Hey, thanks for the come-backs guys! Sorry, always need more input... I have an ARB 37qt fridge (just got it), so it supposedly draws up to 2.3 amps, roughly 28 watts (Amps x Volts = Watts), right? So I'm wondering if a 20watt panel, along with my Optima yellow top will be good for a few days in the backwoods or desert.
.
I hear ya about the panel being behind the windshield. I was just hoping to have something there pretty much all the time to keep the Optima topped-up, as I don't drive long distances much, more short runs around town. I have an RTT on my truck cap, so that leaves that option off the table, and I really don't want (actually "won't") attach anything to my truck's cab.
.
So I guess what I'm reading here is to just get a rigid panel and pull it out and set it up when we camp, right? Then I worry about security if while on a hike. Oh the troubles of modern day living... (I want my horse back!) :sombrero:
.
I appreciate any advice or input on this subject, even brands, etc.

Thank you!
