A question for the techies (as I have no idea about this stuff), will 300w of solar power and two 110ah batteries, be enough to let me run my RV off-road indefinitely and if not, for how long then?
I will be running a 12v fan a 140L 12/240v fridge and led lighting, and will also be charging two iPad's and iPhone's regally, and occasionally I will be charging a MacBook on an inverter.
As far as I know the fridge uses 65w and the Macbook charger uses 85w.
Thanks,
Dave...

A lot depends on the Fridge capacity(Litres) together with the Ambient Temps and Atmospheric (ie cloud cover)/Seasonal conditions when travelling camping. If a 90 litre fridge it would be the minimum Solar/Batteries you require. But if Larger fridge ie 220l at least 500 to 600 watts and 300 to 400 Ah Batteries required, I know this as our Van has this set up and worked ok with AGM's but after 5yrs converted to Lithiums and they give better bad weather operation. With the AGM's after a few Bad Weather days without travelling ie using Charging from vehicle via Dc-Dc Charger would have to run the Honda EU20 Generator for a good 4 to 6 hrs to bring batteries back to 100% Charge.
