Also a note. These are two new battery's.. I found it very hard to kill them throughout the day. I had every light on in the camper, fan for oven vent on, tv on through invertor, and heater on.
I also have an 7 pin plug with a fuse that connects the two pins togther so I can sit with the campers running lights on.
Basically I was pulling about 7 amps. It would of taken 10 hours to kill the batterys...
I guess what I am saying is I dont have enough hi draw items to kill the batterys quickly...
I hope this helps the people out there that may want to try this themselves.. I urge you all to make sure you fuse both ends of the cables. If not bad bad things can happen...
Let me know if there are any questions I can answer with anything I missed...
Excellent report. Thank you. Like I say, we have been doing it for years and it works excleently for us. Ours is on a V10 ford based class C motorhome but execution is almost the same. We had to use longer cables so the gauge is thicker but same idea. I have no place to pack a generator or the fuel for it. As far as noise from the v10, I guarantee our v10 is quieter than any generator of any make. I can hear a 2800 onan start from the other end of a campground. I can't hear my v10 in the next camp site.
