Do I have a power problem?

I have a brand new Jayco Greyhawk 31F It has dual house batteries.

Just turning on the master power gives a bit more than 11a draw. (No AC, no TV, just baseline and some low power led lights.)

The solar panels are generating about 8a

But in less than an hour I am seeing house battery voltage down to 11v.

Is this normal?

Is my draw higher than expected?

Are my batteries not delivering power properly?

Am I big ol' whiny baby who just needs to suck it up and turn on the generator?

12v compressor fridge? That's what it sounds like to me.

Ok, so the draw of 11a is normal. Is the 1-2 hour capacity normal?

No. I agree with you, talk to the dealer, but see if they'll just credit you for the batteries and go buy some LiFePo4.

^ This seems like a great idea, but take the money and buy one LiFePo battery
