Hello, fffriedl! If I remember it right, you can find a switch at the bottom of the LED light lamp for this model. In my opinion, the Jense model of LED lights is not so good, especially the switches position if awful for me. Right now, I have replaced all lamps and bulbs around my house with smart strip lights because I find the LED strip lights more effective and cheaper. Also, I don't need to search for switches and connect more wires around my house, and also, the led strips are cheaper than the LED lamps and bulbs.]]> Wed, 15 Jun 2022 05:25:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13554&PID=148529#148529 Jensen LED light : Thanks StephenH!

+1 to StephenH's solution. The electrical load on the Jensen is not significant enough to be an issue boondocking, and the built in dimming function works just fine. ]]> Mon, 18 May 2020 07:51:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13554&PID=131294#131294 Jensen LED light : On the Jensen unit, there is an... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13554&PID=131289#131289 Author: StephenH

On the Jensen unit, there is an easier way to turn off the light. The two arrow buttons to the left of the display adjust the brightness. The light can be turned all the way off there. I usually keep it at the lowest setting, just above off. That does not address the parasitic draw, but it does help at night. Also, I installed a curtain at the opening to the bed in our 179. That is to let me get up earlier than my wife, who likes to sleep in later.]]> Mon, 18 May 2020 07:32:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13554&PID=131289#131289 Jensen LED light : This is a fine solution for getting... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13554&PID=131284#131284 Author: Tars Tarkas

This is a fine solution for getting the light to turn off at night when you don't want to see it, but just be aware that it does little to prolong your battery life.

We boondock a lot and I did not want his light to be active.  I installed an in-line switch on the main power line going into the entertainment unit.  I unscrewed the face of the unit and pulled it completely out of the wall.  This will take 2 people because all of the wiring is relatively short, so 1 person has to hold the unit while you work on it. I found the main incoming power line and cut it. I added a simple on/off toggle switch in this line and reinstalled the entertainment unit back in the wall.  I made a base plate for the switch(also holds the end of the curtain between the bed and living area). It works perfectly.

No.  But there are also other parasitic 12v draws.  The fridge computer board runs on 12 v no matter how it's powered, and the CO detector.  Maybe that's it.  The answer is to store the pod with shore power hooked up, remove the battery, or install a battery cut-off switch.

Other than pulling the fuse, is there a kill switch to turn off the Jensen LED light that stays on when you turn the power to the unit off. I would think that this light would drain the battery if left on for a few weeks. ]]> Sun, 17 May 2020 17:10:51 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13554&PID=131276#131276
