Following your drift about the refrigerator when my first 60 qts Engel give up after 15 years of service I replaced it with a 45 qts which I sold only after 1 trip. I choosed again the 60 Qts Engel over the taller 45 qts because it was hard to reach for food in the bottom, which make me keep it's cover too much time open, cycling more often it's compressor. Just a tip if you are looking to purchase one.

Looks like adding a solar panel is not such a bad idea as to top up the batteries during the day.
i wanted to pick up a solar panel but sice i was rolling solo this trip I would be on a more conservative route and figured I wouldn't use it. near the top of the list when i get home.

i also have the 60liter but mine is ARB. love the lower height. allowed me to make my whole rear section level and keep decent vision out the back.
