Which W Solar Panel
Which W to get? Big difference from 120 to 200+, but those who have them, which one would you recommend?

depends on how much you want to run off it.
I've got a 60W folding panel set that will keep the battery (100A/hr marine aux battery under the bonnet of my Paj) charged while running a 40l engel as long as you don't have more than 2 or 3 overcast days in a row. How big is your battery? |

100ah, but will only really run camp lights and Engel. I've got it in an ArkPak.

120W will be fine for a small fridge and power efficient camp lights.
IF, you aren't opening the lid every 5 mins, aren't camping in 42 degree temps etc etc. There are quite a few variables involved but I'd suggest as a general guide that 120 will do the job. Just get a good regulator as its pointless having the sun shining, a panel large enough to maintain charge, but the regulator won't allow the charge to transfer to the battery. |

Sounds good, might even get the bigger one just to be sure.
