So from what I am reading, propane tanks and 30 amp plugs are the sources to power TT's. It seems there is some redundancy, some appliances can use both depending upon what is available. If this is the case, will it just be larger energy users like fridge, ac? Is this marked on the units in question? I am assuming there is an alternator on the TT someplace to recharge batteries when moving? Is there really any way to estimate how long a tank of Propane will last, given certain loads (some kind of rating or something), or is experience really the only way to learn that? How about refridgerators, is there some rule of thumb on how much energy they would use during normal operations? How many batteries could you reasonably expect to have on a 30' TT (I hate to ask for an average, so just looking for an idea really) and if you upgrade that would oyu have to upgrade your battery charger as well? If you are drawing a lot of current and are on shore power, will your system draw additional current from the battery array?
Is there a general design to eletrical/propane systems in a TT, or is it so different according to make/model that generalities are pretty pointless?
LOL, is there a library post on basic TT energy systems that I missed? If so, feel free to smack me on the snout with a rolled up newspaper, if you can point me at what I evidently missed on my last perusal.
Thanks very much, y'all.
Edit: don't know how I missed the Elec section last time. Am reading through and finding some answers there. Not all, however.
