Boondocker tips:
There are 30# and 40# propane bottles available as a direct replacement to the 20’s and a spare is encouraged.
AGM deep cycle batt’s can be placed under a dining bench and do not require venting, along with the inverter.
The amp draw of the furnace can be greatly reduced by a catalytic heater. Vented and un-vented models are available. Also, 1 or 2 low amp trucker’s fans can be used near the ceiling to spread the heat.
A battery monitor is a must to track volts and amp use/replacement in battery discharge/charging. Solar is encouraged.
Most of these subjects are covered in the “TECH” & “DIY” sections.
