New 2025 Avenue 38DBL

[Cgsrfr]

I’m picking up a 2025 Avenue 38DBL at the end of the week. This will be my forth trailer but first Alliance product. This one comes with a 400w solar panel and a 12v refrigerator . Does anyone have experience with running the refrigerator on solar? Any upgrades I should do? We typically are plugged in but once a year we go dry camping for a week and not bringing so many ice chests would be amazing.

Any major changes between the 2025 and 2026 other than paint, water filter and sounds system?

Frig will use about 100 amp hours per 24hrs. 400w of solar in direct sunlight (in summer) will put in about 15 amps per hour...so 6hrs of great sun in summer will net you about 90-100 amps back to battery. Get 300-400 amp hrs of Lithium and you should be great for 4-5 days. This means you don't use an inverter to power a lot of other stuff
