2014 Chateau 22E Boondocking battery consumption
Hubby and I have been full-timing in our Chateau 22E since late August, but just started boondocking this month. We have 2 brand new 12v 150ah batteries wired in parallel. We’re finding that we need to run the generator for at least 90 minutes morning and evening to keep the batteries charged even if we’re out of the rig all day. We know to look for parasitic draws on the batteries. The only ones we can identify are the Co2 monitor, fridge thermostat, and the backup camera + display which stays on all the time. We charge the batteries to 12.9-13.0v in the morning and in less than 12 hours they are at 12.0.
Asking all experienced boondockers—does this sound about average or normal? Anything else we can check?
