If it's sunny you can stay off grid without needing to charge. The solar will charge the battery and run the fridge at the same time, also remember the fridge compressor won't run all the time anyway so all the solar current will then go into the battery.aha ok. So your Fridge runs on gas I guess.
Fridge is probably my juiciest thing here. But the manual says 1.5-1.9 amps. So on a 100AH battery and nothing else turns on or drawing (apart from cables themselves) I should get 50 hours in optimal conditions.
Would that be the assumption?
OK if I throw in an imperfect setup etc... Should do close to nearly 2 days if no solar was involved and no additional things like LED lights turned on?
So if I have half that for 50% battery I should get 24 hours out of it.
If I consider Solar power at anywhere from 1-5Amps for hours I could get 2 days out of this setup even with some small LED in the evening before having to charge again bc I might be at 50%
Does this quick maths work in the real world do you think?
Thank you

Which wires are you using for the new LED Strip? The wires that go to the ends of the tube are very high voltage, from a small voltage-boosting circuit built into the fitting. The supply coming into the fitting is the standard 12V, so you need to wire the LED strip to that (assuming it's 12V LED Strip of course).b) I wanted to replace my 2x fluorescent 8 watt light fitting (2 of them) and outside with LED strip. When I try to do that I am shorting out the circuit. As in NO Lights appear when I touch the new wires to test they were ok.

The order of the connection sequence is important for some solar controllers. They are built for both 12V and 24V systems. Instead of a switch to decide which battery voltage to use, they often have an automatic recognition when connecting. In that case, you should connect the battery first, before the solar panel, so that the system can see it is 12V not 24V.3. What is the order of disconnect and reconnect of solar pan please?

For your setup @Nasher this would mean the fridge was permanently on unless you have an override on/off switch somewhere between leisure and fridge etc...?

If it's a proper battery monitor like the NASA or maybe a Victron BMV series, there's a bit more to it. It comes with a 'shunt', that carries ALL the current to the battery negative terminal, through some heavy-duty connections. There's a couple of thin wires and maybe a data connection going to the display unit.I am assuming wiring up the battery monitor is just off my fuse box.. nothing special etc..

Anyone able to advise me if I should be travelling in VAN mode on my PMS v3 please?
This is the ONLY way to keep the fridge on when NOT on EHU.
Thanks
