One other question. I just read on one of the other threads that just the fridge 12V control panel and the CO detector will use about 30Ah per day!?!? I find that kind of hard to believe,
A combination CO & propane detector uses about 1/10 amp so ~2.4 amp hours in 24 hours. I encourage you to leave this on in all conditions.

A radio even if off may take a little battery power also along with a few other things. My trailer idles at about 500 milliamps (1/2 amp) running detectors, fridge control, water heat control, radio memory etc so 12 amp/hrs per day. Your PUP should be less and certainly not 30Ah.
