Battery Testing

Wednesday - After 14hours overnight at with a low of 55°F, we only used 46aH of battery. This is about a quarter of what the class A consumes over the same period. So there is plenty of battery capacity but not enough current for higher load appliances such the microwave, air fryer, toaster, or Keurig. The next “test” is to see if the battery recharges to 100% by the time we get back to Hondo today.

Later - The battery was up to 100% SOC when we arrived in Hondo. We used ⅛ tank of propane for the two days for the furnace, stove, and some refrigerator. I’m not sure of the propane tank size. Gas mileage towing the Jeep was pretty dismal at around 7mpg. About the same as the class A. But I wasn’t very careful about filling up all the way. The rig was a handful with gusty crosswinds especially when towing the Jeep. The tow bar has some play in it at the extension. I need to find the hitch stabilizer or whatever it’s called to see if it helps.

Thursday - It is hot today (88°F @epm). The A/C units are struggling to keep up.
