Anyone come up with a base camp solution for this yet? Searched for over an hour.
I use a Brunton 25 foldable solar panel array to keep my ARB Freezer-Fridge running on the trail. I have a 12v outlet in the roof, and the panel opens up and plugs right in. It has a 25w output, preety high for a solar panel (highest of any of the portable panels I've seen) and will run the ARB by itself in good sunlight. I have the circuit run to go back to my aux batt as well, so it can help maintain batt charge while the ARB runs off the battery...The panel is flexible, and folds up to an 8.5"X11" size when not in use...

Ya' gotta' love the roll up factor in this though.... .
And it's more compact, waterproof, and more powerful. But it is also much more expensive, although I can tell you it work very well for all types of accessory charging (Ipod, phone, VHF / UHF radios, etc...) in addition to helping out with the battery and ARB...
