[QUOTE="condor22, post: 71710, member: 1932"] My "low usage" is probably the norm rather than the exception, to explain: My van fridge is a 3 way,(the biggest difference to you) so on power its on 240 v, when driving it's through the hitch on 12V and out bush it's on gas. All of my lights are down light type and were QH globes, I replaced them with LED, there are 10 of them. Their total current draw, all on is a little more than 1AH. My DVD is 12volt and so is my TV, they pull less than 2AH. In this van I use a 150W inverter to charge my phone and tablet, they use "bugger all". After tomorrow my usage will increase by probably 10AH as I'm having a diesel heater installed. My previous van had a 12 volt only compressor fridge and 2 x 100AH batteries, it used 29AH on a 40 deg day and 19 AH on a 22 deg day. I realise everybody's needs, equipment and use differ, so does their knowledge of this topic. My whole point writing here is to give a start point of knowledge to the less experienced and to THINK about what they want, what they need to do that and above all as you, by what I read, do as so do I and that is manage what you have.
