We're planning to go to disney this christmas where we will surely freeze!
Anyway, we have one 85ah battery at the moment. We will be using some lighting in the evening, say 2hrs a day and obviously have the water pump. Heating is not blown so no power drain, just the gas for that.
We have original lights, so tubes in the ceiling and I think halogen in the cabinet fittings...(does this sound right?:Blush
How much power would these use, say every hour, and which are best to use (lowest power drain?).
Also we may want to put on a DVD to entertain our son (keep him out the way!) when were sorting things like dinner. We have a portable DVD player which we usually run from a small cigarette lighter inverter when we're driving for him or to charge the battery.
Now, does the battery charge when the engine is on and idling, and would this be ok to run/charge the portable DVD also without killing the engine battery?
Or should we get a cheap GENERATOR (got to the topic eventually)?
Thanks
