We would like to know how long we should expect the average batteries (we have two new ones) should last when wilderness camping; only using the water pump to flush the toilet and the minimum light at night with our 5th wheel?
Our second question is, in what states is it illegal to have your LP gas on for the refrigerator when traveling down the road?
Thank you
ANSWER: Hi, how long your batteries will last while boondocking (camping in the wilderness) depends on the type of batteries that are being used as the house batteries on your 5th Wheel Trailer.
If the house batteries are standard 12-volt car batteries, they will last the least amount of time. If the batteries are 12-volt RV/Marine Deep Cycle batteries, they will last longer than the car batteries. If the batteries are 6-volt true deep cycle batteries, they will last even longer. The longest-lasting batteries for RVs are Lithium Batteries
If this all sounds confusing to you, take a moment to read the article All About RV Batteries.
So, as you see, I cannot give you an exact answer to how long your batteries will last while boondocking since I do not know what types of batteries you are using currently.
If you would like to extend the time that your batteries will last, you might want to look into installing a Solar Battery Charging System on your 5th wheel. Solar Battery Charging Systems use the sun's power to provide a trickle
