I really know nothing about the systems I have in my coach....I just use them and rely on others for advice.
I dry camp a lot. Usually I'll spend a day or two at a time boondocking and each morning I run my generator for an hour or so while I make coffee, ,maybe use the microwave and charge my 4 6v house batts. The longest I've gone without shore power was 15 nights at a Forest Service campground and I had no problems. When I dry camp I use the tv sparingly and the micro almost not at all.
So with my Dometic refer running on propane my batts have been fine for dry camping. I would also like to run the refer while driving. That said, I'm looking for assurance that adding this Samsung 197 will not add a power draw which the batts can't handle or which might damage the batts.
I see posts from lots of people using this Samsung. I'd like to think that many of you dry camp as I do and with a good 2000W, or better, inverter and 4 good house batts that I have plenty of power without being plugged in.
Am I correct?
Thanks again! This forum had been a tremendous help once again!
