I'd run the fridge on propane while dry camping/boondocking. You probaly have 2 30lb bottles, so it would run for weeks off that. Same with the water heater. The portable panels work really well since you can move them throughout the day. Unless you have a roof full of panels, you'll likely find the portables working as good or better than the roof mounted ones, especially when the sun is not at its peak, mornings, evenings, etc.

I agree on the propane and we will be doing that from now on. We wanted to see what it could and couldn’t do. Question about the portable panels. I have a 200 watt and a 100 watt that I can hookup with their own charge controllers built in. The factory plug on my rig that receives the portables has a 10 amp inline fuse. I assume those two panels will blow that. Can I just put a new line in with a bigger fuse to handle the panels?

Wow, I have 2023 260rd, our cabinets go to the ceiling and I have the 12v compressor fridge. My wife may like your layout. She can’t reach the 2nd and 3rd shelf above the sink. Also you have a cabinet between the MW and cabs above the sink. We have a wine rack. My wife wants me to build a cabinet there. Ours came with 380w solar panel to support the 88ah battery to run the fridge. But my solar charger crapped out on me. Not sure yet what’s up with that, but my battery ran below 50%. So now my battery won’t charge past 71%. So I have a bad cell. As I stated on a previous comment I want to install some Lithium. I guess this will give me the authorization from the wife to spend that money.

Your water heater runs on propane and 12v, no need for inverter. You must have a propane/110v ac fridge. Maybe a 3 way, but doubt it. So to run fridge on 110v, you need the inverter. I would run on propane when boondocking though, more economic. I would put 600 watts at least of solar on top, and get a Expion 360ah Lithium cube, maybe 2 if you want to run the a/c for a couple of hours. I am going to put 760 watts of solar on the roof and 1080ah of lithium so I can boondock for 2 week or so. I won’t run out of power but I only have to come in to dump tanks, fill water, grocery, and laundry at a campground maybe once every 2 weeks. Great video!
