Hi,Thanks for getting back to me so soon! I really appreciate it.  We have yet to head out in the RPod as we live on a lake and it is too nice in the summer to leave it.  So we are busy doing modifications.  After owning several previous RV's, we know what we use and don't use when we go camping.  Having the 12 volt, will help us go off the grid for a couple of days.  Thanks again!


==================

I should mention that the CPAP unit I use for camping/travelling is smaller and draws less power. It is made by ProBasics and called the "Zzz-PAP". I bought it on-line at CPAP.com. Here is the link to the site/unit.

2nd battery is an easy mod on a new trailer.. and will instantly double your "off grid" capabilities..

Was either going to go that route or a generator - - bit the bullet and got the generator. Our single Group 27 (Interstate Deep Cell) was already gettingg us through 3 days of camping and with the generator to top it off now and then I think we're set. Not sure what the second battery would do for us specifically. Plus the generator gives us more flexibility. Only downside is    ...you've got to feed it gas !!

the second battery would allow you to go 6 days instead of three.. The generator allows you to go longer, as long as you have gas. With a second battery, you would literally use half as much gas in the genny over time, because you would store twice as much energy, while charging in the same amount of time.. (both batteries charge at the same time)
