[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 626394, member: 13810"] Agree with George on everything here but also will add that is while you’re running along. The fridge itself when parked up may or may not last overnight on the leisure battery because it does draw a lot of current, new modern ones are much bettererer. Your friend is correct though to an extent in that the engine is indeed not very powerful (who’d have guessed) and will struggle with a much bigger alternator as usually gets thrown into the mix when all these things are added to a camper , but things are changing rapidly and adding solar panels can really add sustainability to the situation. This is also one of the reasons that a lot of older campers only had cool boxes because of the battery flattening issue, from new, not just VWs either as older motors of all descriptions were very horsepower challenged. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,bit different now. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
