Unknown power use by my fifth wheel.
We just purchased a Montana 2004. Currently someone is staying in it. My entire electrical is off-grid. I have the 5th Wheel plugged into my inverter. I have discovered that it is using about 160 watt...

ok.. you live off grid
the 5th wheel is plugged into the off grid stick house inverter
your power consumption went up 160w, from what it was
your using your off grid solar to keep the 5th wheel batteries charged
where are you measuring the power increase
at your inverter
or at your solar controls ?
some one is living in the FW,
arent they using fans, lights, fridge , TV etc..
does the FW have any tank or compartment heaters, vent fans, fridge fans,
is this 160w going to seriously impact your living ? and power use
you have to expect some power use, unless you want to treat it like a TENT
