First time to 50% SOC

Went out on another trip last weekend. Only used 200Ah this time (3 days) mostly consisting of TV watching, BIL's music, multiple cell phone charging (had inlaws out with us this time), and wifi hotspot use. Actually not too bad considering we had 9 people at the campsite on Saturday. Before the trip I did a thorough energy audit and determined where most draws are coming from. The front and rear entertainment systems have an idle draw of 3.6A. Total idle draw with my inverter on is 5.65A. I cut that down to 1.8A by installing two remote on/off, 3 plug cords. Now I can turn off the entertainment centers when I'm not using them. I also unplugged the comfortaire mattress controllers during the day. All those standby's were eating up 160+Ah's.
