our batt is 85 get about 3 to 4 hours but don't run inverter or blow heating so sounds about right what you are gettingour battery is a brand new 110ah, when wilding it only lasts about 3 hours is that normal?
we have running a 300w inverter with the sky box on it 30w and our tv 35w also the gas blow air heating which uses the power aswell unsure of wattage consumption. is lasting 3 hrs normal?

hot air fan may draw 10/12amps per hour.
the tv and sky box,(65watts) even on an inverter, wont draw a big current.
a single 110ah battery will allow around 55amps usable power before needing recharging.
if you're charger is a bog standard motorhome charger it wont be fully charging your battery anyway, maybe 90% at best, so 3 hours sounds about right to me
im not sure of the make of battery i would have to take the passenger seat off again to check, our lights have all been changed to led and run on less that 2w each light, but these are rarly on. i think i will have to invest it a quality battery or even fit another 110ah to the existing 1 to help bump it up

We have Transit Chassis and understand well your battery access issues!
We gave up and put 'em in the garage!
Just a thought though, if you are on a Transit Chassis, you might find one of the batteries under the drivers seat is connected in parallel with the leisure battery and split from the other by a large relay. Ford supply the chassis cab with both of these as starter batteries, even though one of these is effectively used as a leisure battery. If the starter battery in the 'leisure' role is damaged from being deep discharged, this might be hampering the leisure battery you have fitted.
Don't wish to confuse, but it might be a factor................
assuming it is fully charged and you run to 50% which is the safe discharge level then you have about 55 amp hours. Are you sure the battery is topped up and fully charged.our battery is a brand new 110ah, when wilding it only lasts about 3 hours is that normal?
