Today i have hooked up 2 x 40watt solar panels in parallel,, bringing out a + and - from the same panel to the regulator....
(Should it be a + from one panel and a - from the other??)....
Shouldnt make any difference should it???....
Anyways,,,, the (batt + and -) of the regulator i put a plug on and plugged it into the power socket in the rear of the vehicle,,,,,,,,, and the (load + and -) of the regulator i have plugged the fridge into.....(Waeco) 50litre....

So my question is,,,,,"is it normal for the plug in the rear socket to get untouchably hot whilst the fridge is on and drawing 3.5amps??"
Also,,, "its gets as hot when the solar panel is plugged in and giving charge into the socket without the fridge even being turned on"..... ..................3.4 amps is the solar panel charge....
