hi i have just unplugged the mains out of the electroblock to get an idea of just how power hungry items fitted to the van really are.
as it is now going dark we have the over cabinet LED rope lights on (about 10 metres)
a 12volt 10 inch tv and a 12volt Comag sat receiver the display on the control panel says -13.9A and the battery after 10 minutes of this says 12.5 volts with the load on
under the drivers seat is 1 exide gel battery rated at 80AHr
so from what i understand i have really only got 40AHr available before the battery reaches 12volt and is therefore "flat".
so am i correct in assuming that the battery will be "flat" in around 3 hours with this usage??
if so then why do the manufacturers fit only 1 battery to a 6 berth motorhome and only an 80AHr one at that??
