To Conserve Battery
Power:
Do not allow batteries
to fully discharge before
operating the generator. If
possible, run the generator
twice a day, morning and
afternoon, to charge the
batteries.
Turn off the inverter when
not in use. One light left on
can quickly reduce battery
reserves.
Turn off interior 12 Volt
DC items whenever
possible.
Turn off the antenna boost
when not watching TV.
Keep a ashlight handy for
use inside the motorhome
at night. When interior
lighting is desired, use
one light in a central
location such as the vanity.
Disconnect all but one or
two bulbs.
Turn on the water pump
only when using water.
Run the generator instead
of using the inverter to
operate the convection
microwave oven.
BREAKING CAMP

travel will require several small
tasks. Properly securing and
storing items will help to prevent
