I've got a dometiic 80 fridge that I want to install permanently in the cruiser. I'd like to have AC power it at night and solar during the day. Considering the Renogy RNG-250D.
Would that be enough to power the fridge on a sunny Florida day?
You use the solar to charge the battery, then the fridge runs from the battery right?
I'm considering running 1/0 battery cable with heat wrap from battery to rear right. That to power a blue sea panel, an inverter, and the fridge. Make sense?
Do I need to run a 10 gauge cable separate for solar panel to battery?
I'm new to this, appreciate any advice.
@GWcruiser - I got a lot out of your electrical posts in this thread, fuse everything, 105C wire, and...
@LandCruiserPhil - Am I started in the right direction, or way off?

From my experience 250w panel to run your fridge is plenty. I and several others get by with a 100W on a couple different fridges.
1/0 will run a lot but I would keep my inverter as small as possible 1500W or less.
#10 would be the minimum between your panel, controller, and battery.
Will look forward to your install
Wonder if this could be done on a 40 with a 5'X7' Confer rack on top? Seems to be plenty of room up there for panels...............
