Howdy.... But an Amp. metre to the RV battery to see how much energy each appliance used in our Eurobago 1995. Appliance Amp. Draw Fridge 9 Furnace 3 (with fan going) Light (incand.) 1.3 (the top bunk light) Faucet pump 1 (approx) Light (fluors) 0.52 Meters 0.14 Propane Detector 0.12 (power being used when everything is "off") Conclusions: The fridge really "sucks." If it draws 9 amps and hour our 75 amp. hour battery could run it for a maximum of 8 hours. Of course then it would be totally dead and the low battery alarm would have gone off hours ago. The fluorescent lights give off more light and are 40% more energy effecient than the incandescent light. Email me personally if you have questions since i am already unsubscribed. We leave tomorrow!
