Thanks for the replies. The answers did supply me with enough information to calculate everything.

This was more of a "Hey, let me test things out since I have never really used everything in here". According to the dealer, upgrading the batteries in this particular coach would get me about 4-5 days. I just have the RV sitting in my driveway and am leaving tomorrow. I usually keep it plugged in to 110V to run the refrigerator before heading out. I turned on the inverter and while the refrigerator was running, no lights were on, and as far as I can tell, there was no other power being delivered from the inverter (I am sure the radios pull minimal). According to the digital display, I was not drawing that much. I turned it on Thursday evening and by this morning, I heard an alarm saying Low Power on the display. So I plugged it in. I was checking this out because i will do my first dry camping in a few weeks when I take it to the beach where there are no hookups. I have the auto-gem start which monitors the batteries, but did not have that turned on. I finally decided to go ahead and just use every accessory installed in this and make them work like they should. I figured why not since I have the full 7 year warranty. If it breaks, get it fixed. Might as well find out now rather than later.


Thanks again for the replies. I will check out the link and get out some paper and figure out how much power is being pulled just sitting there with just the fridge running.
