Hi Dawa, I was wondering how all was going. Is the fridge cold all the time and is it run on solar by itself? and for the lights and computer how long do you have power for? Enjoy reading your adventures. cheers.

Finally found someone to look at my electrics and sort the solar out.

Fridge is now running; large AGM battery and 2ooW panel.      is isolated so it runs the fridge only

The fold up 120W panels now charge the small deep cycle battery that powers lights and puter.

this man does a lot of camping and uses solar himself

 The smaller battery and 120W panel runs the light for most of the night and i can have about 1 1/2 hors of puter time.

The fridge/freezeris working now but i am topping the battery to keep it at full ccharge until the new regulator arrives.

Big test will be over xmas back on the river
