Hi all Happy New Year,
After some advice wrt powering our van whilst off grid for a week next year. Currently weighing up options and any advice would be great!
So I've got a few questions (apologies if these are basics but we are new to caravanning). We have a solar light system from our tenting days that we could use for lighting so that shouldn't be an issue, but we're going to need some power during the week to power up various gadgets etc. plus we want the fridge up and running. So:
Is it more cost effective to run the fridge off the gas or leisure battery if off grid?
If we were to run the fridge of the gas bottle how quickly would we run out of gas?
How long would the leisure battery last if we ran the fridge off it?
Is purchasing additional leisure batteries the way to go, or are there cheaper power alternatives that we could hook the van up to whilst we are away?
Thanks in advance
