I invited my daughter and her family from to spend the night in my RV while the smoke is so heavy from the fires just north of them. I parked where I couldn't easily plug in but only ran 2 fans for 3 hours and then one LED light and one Fantastic fan. To my knowledge nothing else was drawing current. The 2 coach batteries died by the time that 15 hours had elapsed. All would have been OK except that the depleted battery set off the CO detector at 3:00AM. I had to start the engine to be able to start the generator, which stopped the CO detector from sounding of.
I have a solar panel on the roof that keeps this battery charge maintained during storage. Occasionally I check the fluid in the cells and they never seems to need any water. As for the age of these batteries, I am unsure since they came with the vehicle from the prior owner.
Normally I only used this when plugged in at a campground, so I have little experience with what to expect. What is reasonable to expect when boondocking like this for that small amount of electrical load?
