12 v fridge and factory solar
My Brother in Law just picked up a 2022 XLS17MKE yesterday with a 12 v Fridge and he said it has a factory installed 2’-3’ solar array on the roof. He’s new to travel trailers and he was overwhelmed at the initial introduction by the dealer so we have many questions.
I just checked the online manual for his model and there nothing about 12 v refrigerators.
So there are many questions
He will be storing it outside at a facility without any electric shore power and it will be in an unshaded outdoor spot in North Carolina.
Some questions;
Will the solar be able to maintain battery charge?
Is the installed MPPT designed to charge flooded cell, AGM or other batteries?
Should he leave the battery disconnect turned on?
Can the solar panel and system provide enough capacity to run fridge when not connected to shore power for a full 24 hours with inky 8 hours of sun?
Would it help to have 2nd battery installed?
Any other hints?
Thanks in advance.
