Does 400 Watt Solar Panel Kit of Montana High Country Have Enough Power for Furrion RV Fridge
Question:
The new camper we’re looking at is a 2023 fifth wheel Montana High Country. It is gorgeous and has a Furrion side by side. We’re so close to a deal but have concern about the refrigerator needing to be reliable on roof mounted solar panels and lithium batteries as we are off the grid all camping season long. Currently we have a dometic which runs on solar and propane in our camper and it works perfectly. We just don’t know about the new technology and hope you can shed some light on wether or not we can draw enough power - I believe the roof panels put out a total of 400 watts - to run the fridge in the 2023.

The Furrion refrigerator part # FR42PJ can draw up to 11 amps per hour which if that was the only thing drawing power the setup on the Montana would easily work great. Especially since you have lithium batteries.
I also attached a link to a page that has a guide for determining how much solar power you'd need as well.
