I put 4 of these in the aux battry box, then another 2 under the sink, in the cabinet, for 132AH. I've been using just the 4 for a past few years and it has been sufficient for between 2-3 days of camper use, using a Vitrigrigo fridge, Propex heater, lights, radio, etc. Hoping the addition of another 2 UB's will extend that some, but won't know exactly the effect of that until I've camped using them. My next "move" is likely adding a solar panel. Bob
