B+ motorhomes
I just bought a Trail Lite B+ 211s with 8.1 Chevy engine. This is my fifth motorhome (others range from an old 20' Vagabond, and three Winnegagos, from 19 to 32'. This vehicle is fantastic. I am...

We have a question to trail-lite owners who have only one battery. Ours is a 225, 8.1, 2003 model and since most of you have the same size appliances, heater etc. wanted to post here for your input. We would like to start camping in parks with no hookups, however we are permitted to use the generator during certain daytime hours (8:00 am to 8:00 pm). We have one SRM-24 CCA 550 MGA 690 RC 140 Mins Interstate Battery
Questions:
For one night can we run:?? the frig on propane, the propane furnace, the LP detector (comes on automatic when battery switch on). We can use an independent battery lantern, bottled water/jug water for personal items such as toliet etc. We can think of no other charge on the battery. Tv booster off, no hot water heater, no water pump (however would be nice to know if water pump could be included).
Would using just those three items (frig, heater, detector) run the battery down over 50% for one night? We would turn on the gen set the next morning to recharge up.
We really like out rig - have had one and a half years (20,000 miles) had some of the fix-ups mentioned on the forum but nothing too serious. Have read about batteries everywhere but gets confusing trying to figure AMP hours. Some hints would be appreciated on figuring that. Love this forum and have learned a lot from all of you.
Thanks J & W
