Jerry,
Dealer is right on for the most part. Your 120v refrigerator gobbles 30-40
amps of 12v power (via the inverter) each hour, so even a 4-6 hour period
will draw down your house batteries something serious, and that's with
everything else turned off, if you can.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] dry camping


Just purchased a 2005 LXi and need some advice on dry camping. I cook
in bbq contests and sometimes no power or 110 only. Dealer says I will
have to use the generator all the time. Although the unit is all
electric, will not use the stove top or microwave while camping. It is
hard to believe I can't dry camp any length of time and then use
generator to keep batteries up.
Is the dealers advice right or does anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
