Hi all,
I have searched & searched and come around just as confused as i started. I own a MN Triton and wish to add a 2nd battery set up to keep the ARB 60L Fridge cold.

Previous set up was Deep cycle Battery in the tray, ABR Sidewinder Battery Monitor with ABR Sidewinder 140amp isolator. Now i borrowed all of this from my brother so I have to start all over but now wish to add a solar panel into the system. Previous set up when running there was 14.18v at the starting battery & 14.09v- 14.01v at the rear battery.

The solar panel i wish to permanently fix to the canopy is a BP Solar 80w panel. I already have this panel , or is it better to purchase a bigger panel ?

My Question is what is suggested to make it all work ? What is the recommended battery to use? I wish to be able to camp for 2-3days with out starting the car engine if possible.
Planning to travel 1/2 Australia this year.

Cheers Matthew
