  • Typical Propane Usage of Refrigerator
  • It is not easy to gauge how much propane your refrigerator will consume. But if it is 12 cubic feet fridge, then it can consume approximately 1.5 pounds of propane on a daily basis.

  • Can a Dual Fuel Generator be Used for a 5th Wheel Camper in Place of a Deep Cycle Battery
  • You don't necessarily have to have a battery on your trailer if you are using a dual fuel generator like the etrailer # 333-0005.

  • Can Generator Charge Deep Cycle Battery of Trailer
  • You'd need to use a 12 volt charger like # 329-GENIUS5 plugged into your generator and then attached to your deep cycle battery. This will allow you to charge the battery pretty easily. Your generator should have more than one outlet so you could potentially run the furnace and the charger at the same time. Or if not you could use a multi-plug plugged into the single outlet.

  • Should RV Get Winterized If its Going to be Used Every Weekend
  • You're in a tough spot if you plan to use the RV a lot during the winter months. The problem is that you have to winterize the water system so that the pipes don't freeze, but you'd be having to undo the winterizing process every time you use the trailer. Best option would be to store it during the week somewhere indoors that will be above freezing so that you can get by without winterizing the system.
