Turn OFF interior 12 Volt DC power
whenever possible. Refrigerator, battery
charging and inverter operation will not
be affected. Turn OFF small battery
operated items i.e., porch, bay exterior
step, generator and engine compartment
lights, etc. Turn OFF the antenna boost
when not watching TV. One light left on
can quickly reduce battery reserves.
Keep a working ashlight handy for
night trips through the campsite and
inside motorhome. When interior
lighting is desired, use one light in
a central location such as the vanity.
Unscrew all but one or two bulbs.
Turn on the water pump only when using
water.
If weather does not permit or no outdoor
table is available, eat at the dinette table
by candlelight.
Operate the generator when using
microwave/convection oven.
