I have looked and can not find the battery charger. I know there is one but where? I was thinking that it should be in the front left electrical compartment where the battery cut off
is located but did not see one.
Also, this is not the first 5er but first ForestRiver. All important stuff, fridge, lights, water pump are on 12V, Can anyone give me an idea of how long the batteries will last with a 200W solar panel given a sunny day?
I'm going to tyy and see for my self but I do not want to run my batteries down too low. I know, get lithium and you won't have that problem. I just can't justify, right now, putting lithium in. Do not bood dock that much. Just want to know if that 200 W solar will keep 12V fridge running all day while on the road. It gets very cold, very fast and for that I am in the positive corner so far!
Just looking for any experience as I have NONE!!
And I am not sure just what the difference was but on a short trip Friday, on pretty level road, this rig pulls very nice compared to my last even tho it is 460lbs heavier and 7' longer.
I averaged right at 12 mpg and that was 2 mgp better than the last rig. I'm happy!
Happy Glamping!!
