And don't forget the overhead of running an inverter all that time. Mine eats up 5 amps an hour, so that's another 120 amps. |
With the switch you could easily turn Battery on/off ,and with AGS it would fire up generator automatically if battery power got to low.
Your response made me add a 5th question.
5) If you have unit with Outdoor kitchen (small refrigerator and small sink)... how practical or valuable is that for you? I am trying to rationalize when I may actually use and if I will need to move drinks in and out of the house to go outside? I don't know if you actually leave on all the time even while driving? I guess if you stop to get gas you could go get a cold coke without having to go back in the coach?
