Dometic PLB40

This popped up in my email. Looks promising. My son was looking to buy a small Honda generator but they're ~$2K. This is pricey but a lot more affordable and you avoid the hassle of fueling it up. 3 different ways to recharge. For extended backcountry trips this seems ideal.

 

What size solar panel would you need? What brand of panel is best. Like everything else I'm sure there's a better brand that is preferred. What's everyone using? TIA!

 

IMO go goal zero

Their 400 is half the price at 33ah, then they make all the necessary attachments for off grid charging as well.

Their lithium 400 is 39.6ah. Paired with a 50w solar panels it still looks to be less $ than the Dometic.

 

Thanks! I knew someone here would know. This is why we love these forums!
