    • @SafeTravelRV
      @SafeTravelRV 4 місяці тому

      As everyone’s 12v power supply varies, it’s hard to answer exactly . On my Class C with 2 -100amp lithium batteries and an alternator that charges those batteries, i leave it on all the time. The video talks about power consumption near the beginning. you can search how to determine battery consumption based on watts per hour. Just remember that lead acid batteries and AGM batteries should only be discharged to 50%. Lithium more like 15%. So a 100 amp lead acid battery has only 50 amps of useable power.

    I followed your lead and got my 2023 class c motorhome suspension upgraded. I had Performance Ford Truck Country in Woods Cross, UT install the equipment. That consisted of Koni FSD shocks, Hellwig sway bars, Sumo springs and a roadmaster reflex steering stabilizer. Parts were $2,700 and install w/ an alignment was $1,100. It was 3.5 hours of labor. My coach drives fantastic now. The new shocks soak up the bumps much better and no more swaying coming out of parking lots or driveways. Also the steering stabilizer tightened up the steering and it tracks straight down the highway now. I would recommend these upgrades to anybody with a class c E-450 chassis motorhome. The way it drives down the road is dramatically improved!

Any recommedations? I could cut the ends off of splice on new ones from the Erapta system., but I hate to do since there is a lot of shielding it appears on some of the strands.
