Welcome! Hope you're finding everything you need and enjoying the journey of being a new RV owner. Lots to learn, but it gets easier the more you get out there and explore. Happy trails!
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are superior because of the continuous 12 volts they provide and they're a lot safer as in they won't catch. Fire is easy. We recently bought a camper and I honestly don't know what runs on what. Besides the fridge, I believe it runs on propane and 12 volts and the lights for sure. How would I find out exactly? It sounds like a silly question. I agree, I think the stove would be propane And I think the microwave would be electric which would be the biggest draw with the air conditioner. I'm not even sure if these all run on 12 volts or do I have to plug in the camper.
Hi Ryan, yes, LFP batteries are the defacto standard for any new custom builds these days, although mass manufacturers still use lead acid since they're cheaper. As for what runs on 12-volt, typically microwaves and air conditioners are 110v and only work when you're plugged into shore power. Everything else is usually 12-volt and propane.
Hi there, it really depends on your electrical usage. 200Ah was LOTS enough for us, until we got Starlink. Then we had to be a lot more power-conscious, and only ran Starlink when we needed it. The furnace fan also uses a lot of power. It's best to tally up the wattage for everything you'll be using, then multiply that by the hours you'll be using it to get a rough total and go from there.
@HomeARoam I appreciate the reply : ) I'm newbie to this. I'm going to need a starlink. In California we going to need Ac for sure. I'm not sure how many batteries and solar panels and if I can aid the solar by using the generator. I hope it makes sence
Good morning. When I started heading south to AZ for the winter from Canada I left with 4-6v LA batteries and 300 watts of solar. Never ran out of power with a rig like yours. But have to admit was shocked by the amount of power used by the furnace fan.
Hello, I hope to collaborate with you. I sell RV batteries on Amazon, but I have been facing malicious attacks from competitors, which has made me feel discouraged from continuing to sell the batteries. Currently, I want to clear my inventory and can offer you a discounted price. I have a quantity of just over 100 batteries, all of which are of high quality. I look forward to your response.
@@HomeARoam I would like you to help me create a video to promote my product and inform everyone that it is currently on clearance at a low price. I am willing to provide compensation for your assistance.

Portable solar panels for Rv trailer
Portable panels are a great way to top up your battery, especially if you're not able to or don't want to install permanent ones on your roof.

How many batteries are needed to keep the trailer on day and night with no worries?
