If you do a lot of boondocking (no hookups while camping), then you know Battery life is one of the most leading things you must plan for, especially if you have a small Battery bank. One great way to save a lot of power is to convert your existing incandescent lighting to Led lighting. Led stands for light emitting diode and provides light in a very separate way than incandescent or fluorescent lighting sources. The biggest benefit for a boondocker is that Leds want very small power to operate, so you won't have to be so aware of switching off lights when you don't need them.
Upgrade Your Rv With Led Lighting
Just how much power can you save by going Led? In a typical tour trailer of say 27 feet with a super slide and a join of bunk beds, you may have upwards of 20+ 12 watt incandescent bulbs. If you were to have all of these on at one time, you would be drawing nearby 20 amps of Dc power. In a few hours, your particular group 24 12-volt Battery would be near dead. Even if you had two batteries, you wouldn't have much left to cease out a 2-day weekend without a Battery recharge.
Now if you were to replace every interior incandescent bulb in this fictitious tour trailer with a 24 Led array warm color lamp, each drawing 190 mA, the total power consumption drops to 3.8 amps, over 5 times less power consumption. You wouldn't likely replace every incandescent bulb with a 24 Led array lamp but you could and if you did, you would be using 5 times less power, even if you had every light switched on.
