What's it like to dry camp in OUR trailer? HEAVEN
Our first trip out we had just the stock trailer and we needed the furnace in sub freezing weather at night. We didn't use the house lights, instead we used battery florescent and LED light to save the battery. We were fine for 3 days/ two nights but when we wanted to extend it to a week I turned the truck around and ran it with the jumper cables attached for a hour. Doing that for the next four days gave us plenty of power for the rest of the week.
The next season we ran a generator a few hours a day. Last year we added solar, this year more battery and a big inverter. Now you would think we took a big extension cord with us because we can use all of the toys and never conserve on power. Luckily we can make 60 gallons of water last two weeks.
