EHU ...do you

[Tombola]

Those of you that have off grid power and use it frugally as you are conscious of it not running out.
Those of you who are constantly telling folk at home to turn off the light/clsoe the door, keep the heat in etc
Those of you who go to bed with a candle to save the landing light or big light leccy

Are you still as conscious when on EHU on site and try to conserve as much as possible, or do you charge everything you've got, do the weeks home clothes washing, and use it just cos its there and Ive paid for it ?

I wouldn't waste it but I'd certainly use what I needed. We had a 500w heater on in Cornwall

We have quite a large electrical setup, but we use quite a bit of power (having a Mac with a big monitor, 240v fridge, etc).

All of our sockets run from our inverter fulltime. Apart from a socket for the EHU charger.

We use power the same if on or off EHU, with no electric heating/kettle/etc, although we only need it from Nov-Feb if staying in one spot for longer than 3 days.

We will catch up with charging bits & bobs when on hook up, but other than that not much different use, we try to be enviromently friendly and not waist too much.

On the rare occasions we have been on a campsite, we have gone there this year basically to charge the batteries after too many days of rain, We did a few short stops on sites but didn't like those big commercial sites (Haven) - We are deliberately going to more small and friendly sites next year instead

BUT we are power frugal in the motorhome even more than we are at home and so far we have never run the batteries below 12.1v

None of the above.

On EHU, we run Motorhome heater, fridge and water heater off leccy instead of gas.
But otherwise are operating as if we’re relying on prolonging habitat battery.

None of the above.
