I have seen and used a chart that some one made that showed the power consumption of the refrigerator, heater, fan, etc for the RPod. I have searched and can't find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction Thank you Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

| The previous owners of our Model 177/2016 said the jensen entertainment center will drain your battery when trailers sitting idle. I have a battery disconnect that takes care of that issue but would be even better were there a way to easily kill it dead when campers not being used. |

Truth be told, you shouldn't be leaving your Pod's battery just sitting out anyway, regardless of whether it's connected or not. Lead acid batteries self-discharge, and they should be kept on a quality smart charger 24/7 when not in use on the Pod or else left connected and your Pod left plugged in to a power source when not in use. This will greatly lengthen the lifespan of your battery. ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost." Tolkien 2014 Hood River 177 2005 GMC Envoy XL |
