How to avoid coach batteries being drain while running furnace during dry camping
  • Simple answers:

    More battery capacity (more, better or newer).

    Set thermostat lower so less furnace run time

    Start generator when batteries reach 12 VDC under load or 12.2 with batteries at rest.
  • An adequate solar system...panels, controller and batteries...determined by an energy survey times 1.5 or 1.75.
