Yeah its been a great little fridge!

Cheers brother thanks for watching!

Hey thanks for watching! Yes I had a 100w Harbor Freight panel plugged into the Jackery most of the days of this trip. The Jackery limits the solar input to 60 watts, so that is the amount of watts it was receiving most of the time. If it was not cloudy, then it was getting that full amount. The fridge pulls about 45 watts when the compressor is running, which was probably half the time. We had it set pretty low, around 36-39F most of the time, and it was super hot and humid basically the whole trip. In cooler weather it would need to run less of the time. When the compressor shuts off there is basically no draw from the fridge. All that to say - assuming no clouds, the Jackery was receiving 60w from the panel, and using 45 or less watts. So a net positive for charging. If the Jackery was topped off when we started the day's activities, then it would remain topped off, if we had used it overnight, then it would slowly charge even with the fridge running. Hopefully that makes sense! :-) Here is a link to the combo of the Jackery and solar panel I was using - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLJpo6-AnJfInGQ.html

I like that roof rack also.

Yes this fridge would be perfect size 👌

Yeah this rack is really solid. My dad drove all over the USA with this rack on his Montero until he got a longer version of the same one and passed this one to me. Here is the link: MPH Production Universal Roof Rack a.co/d/eiA8pIj

Hey thanks for watching! Yes these little Jackery units are small but mighty. I have used mine to power all sorts of things on trips, including 12v fridges, fans, lights, charge phones etc. The Jackery 290 can definitely "last" overnight running a fridge - you can see that in this video test I did here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fp-fg9qp2J_Wj6c.html Obviously the ambient temp is going to play a huge factor in how much energy the fridge requires to remain at a set temperature. So if it is 40 degrees out and you have it set to 32 degrees, the fridge won't need to run nearly as often as if it is 80 degrees... you get the point. So my plan of action is that while in transit I connect the fridge to the Jackery and the Jackery to the vehicles 12v cigarette lighter/power port. This way if I stop the fridge is still powered, but as I drive the Jackery is remaining topped off. Then when I arrive if it is still daylight I plug the Jackery into a solar panel - such as this Harbor Freight folding "suitcase" panel - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbRzf5dz0bu-mJs.html If the Jackery is topped off at sunset - I know it will make it through the night running the fridge. Then come sunrise, the solar panel is again charging the Jackery back up and outpacing the fridge's wattage draw. Then if we are on the move, I plug the Jackery into the car's 12v power again and off we go. I hope that makes sense? 1-2 nights is definitely doable with this Jackery 290... if you have the funds, a 1000 watt hour powerstation will definitely get you through 2 nights without needing to recharge at all. Just a thought. I hope this helps!

@@kampinglogik thank you very much for your kind reply thank you!

Hmmm I would have to test that out. You can get the cooler from ambient to 32F in about 15-20 minutes. So if you put it to the lowest, which is zero degrees F (if I recall correctly) it should be decently quick! We definitely froze some veggies accidentally on our last trip by setting it to 32F so... it definitely can freeze stuff
