Almot, I hear you about the solar. Been reading up a little on it. Not a lot of good boondocking choices close to home on NC coast. We have only had the TT 1 year and always have camped with power. Thinking about a longer trip out west and considering solar / genny, although the genny would not help where we are at now. Neighbors in subdivision may not appreciate it. Genny would be good add on at home because we are in hurricane alley ( for power outages ).
re installed battery last night about 10:30 after a 2 1/2 hour charge. Just checked and it is 12.65V. Will charge for about 3 hours this afternoon and it should be good till we leave at 7:00AM tomorrow. Thks for all the advice. Did not realize it would drain that fast.
