Hi, i am starting to kit our the new Altitude, and looking for advice on running a circa 40 litre fridge on a round Aus trip, with a number of stops with no driving for 7 days. Question, should the battery be fine to keep the fridge going, or should I go for additional power in thru a solar panel? Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Personally I’ve never run a fridge just straight off the battery, I always ran it off some kind of power bank (I always used a jackery 1000). That being said, I made a 12v switch that was technically powered off the battery, so when I was driving I could turn it on and be sure the jackery battery was always topped off. But that was just me. The FWD 24-7 guys from AUS, have a YouTube channel where they have some pretty interesting power setups, maybe check them out to get ideas!

I dumped my 12v fridge and purchased an EcoFlow Fridge. It has a removal battery and charges fairly quickly from the LC's inverter. Additionally I have the EcoFlow "Delta 2 pro" battery bank, I plug the fridge into it and then the D2pro into the LC...... works great!
