To days test will be to remove the battery charger which is putting in about same as solar,then i can find out if fridge will run over night without killing the batterys of sending the inverter into shut down mode which requires a man/start.

If your happy then sod the fancy paint,drive live sleep and the rest will take care of itself.(y)

Im going to do some tests at weekend with a standard mod inverter 600w just to see if it starts,fingers crossed.

This is what i got el cheapo never used £50

There are some ones from china on the bay which look like numax at much less dosh.

If you dont mind spending then numax chargers on the bay at £50 use a 5ah for engine and a 10 or 20ah for service batts.
