Plus I need fans, I have good ones but keeping them charged has been a real challenge. So far my baudens 8ah power station is good for that but only if I can keep it charged.

Ya, I know. I would love to have the best of everything but it's just not a reality for some of us. The less I spend on the controller, the faster I will be able to afford a better battery. It will still be better to be able to run both panels and will be way more efficient than the pwm I have...

The guy I got the two 250w panels from said that he has clocked several of them at over 250w so I will be aware of that when purchasing. I planned a trip, galveston, TX, then Corpus Christi, Tx, then up to amarillo to see tx2stugis so he could help me sort thru all this. I just wanted to have...

I found one called makeskeblue and this one by power me https://www.dropbox.com/s/zztyrdi9ntmjolr/screenshot_20210813-101120.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ax5zsh9spdd7my8/Screenshot_20210813-100628.png?dl=0 They look similar, will these work maybe?

Can someone please suggest a decent mppt controller that can run 500watts of solar panels?

This is my challenge, to get the most I can out 9f what I already have.

As far as readings from the controller goes.... I still have problems making sense of them. When I connect it all back up in my van, I'm going to take pics of the readings I'm getting. I'm probably doing or reading something wrong. Maybe then y'all can help me figure it out. I do, as always...

I can change the ciggy wire for 8awg with an xt60 connector. I have those. I removed the panel and batteries from my van for this pic since I'm at a friend's house and have my fridge plugged into 120v right now. Of course I normally have my solar panel attached to the input on my charge...

I'll be on my way soon to see texas2stugis so I'll just wait on the boost/buck converter

This is the only tech pages from my manual for fridge and my wiring since I stripped it down to only support my fridge. The tape u see is just temp to be safe, the wiring is temp, the batteries and wires will come from behind the board and thru the board...

I am using the cig lighter while driving during the day then switch to the cig lighter on my panel when not driving. it runs and freezes everything during the day while driving perfectly. When I switch to my panel, I set fridge to eco mode.

Jonyjoe303 not jonyjow303. how do I edit a post? I almost always have typos.,. Ugh

Jonyjow303 I would love it if u would chime in here. Does anyone know how to wire in a boost/buck converter, a boost converter and a small 12v fan for them? I have a picture of them together but I cannot see the exact wiring. A drawing or schematic would be great, showing the relation to the...

Does anyone know how to wire in a boost/buck converter, a boost converter and a small 12v fan for them? I have a picture of them together but I cannot see the exact wiring. A drawing or schematic would be great, showing the relation to the wiring to my compressor fridge and my control panel. I'm...

Janine! I called, I hope I hear from you. I think we have alot in common and I hope to hear all about your trip! I could really use a friend too ? since I'm new here. All my friends I left in oregon do not really understand what I'm doing. Thanks for reaching out to me.
