Weve just bought an ex-Maui Troop Camper. It has a 40L Engel (a table-top model) in it which is 12V only (they say). It _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx on the second battery in the car. Questions we have:
- does anyone have experience with these ie are they as reliable as the more known 29L and 39L models?
- how much Amps do they draw (average)
In general we are concerned as we plan to bush or beach camp for several days on our big trip and we wonder if the only solution is to buy solar panels (expensive!) or if we should chuck it out and get an AutoFridge (expensive too...) or should we just connect the Engel to both batteries and use a jump starter to get the car going once both are drawn flat (pretty silly...).
Any advise is welcome!
