Thanks Tom - does it just glue to the side of the wood?

Thread resurrection time!

Did you buy the Bosch batteries Tom? I've just bought a Waeco CF40 and have 1 x 100ah battery from Tayna in the van already. Over the last week the battery has run the fridge for 48 hrs (approx) with the solar topping if up.

I'm trying to decide what to do, but an extra 100ah battery from Tayna or 2 x Bosch and start over.

Any info you can share would be really helpful.

Cheers

I currently have 2x 77ah bosch batteries. I have found that last do last a bit longer than 2x Tayna 100Ah batteries.

I will be adding 2 more in the next few weeks.

My current batteries are in the small lower cupboard between the water tank and fridge. I'm currently thinking that the additional 2 will go in the bottom of the wardrobe.

There are so many variables it makes this hard to answer accurately. Fridge set to 5-6, warm weather, not much sun, lots of door opening and putting in room temp beers etc I get around 48hrs. If I leave the van parked on the drive and do not open the door and put in room temp items, with a bit of sun it'll last over a week.
