Hi
Looking for advice on getting our fridge to temperature before we leave I get confused with what I read stating it will only run when connected to the car ? can it be run the day before from the battery it is 110 amp and I have a 140 wat solar panel on the roof if that helps with advice
Thanks Alan

On 12v, it will draw around 120w, so the battery will not last long. The 12v setting is only intended to maintain the fridge cool, when on the move it will auto-disconnect when the engine is stationary. When stationary the gas or better 240v setting needs to be used on EHU.
I switch mine to 240v the day before we go away, parked on my drive, to cool down and allow it to be filled up. On not too far trips, I don't bother, but on longer drives to site I switch it to 12v to keep it cooled.
