I have seen and used a chart that some one made that showed the power consumption of the refrigerator, heater, fan, etc for the RPod. I have searched and can't find it. Can someone please point me in the right direction
Thank you Vann

The previous owners of our Model 177/2016 said the jensen entertainment center will drain your battery when trailers sitting idle. I have a battery disconnect that takes care of that issue but would be even better were there a way to easily kill it dead when campers not being used.

Truth be told, you shouldn't be leaving your Pod's battery just sitting out anyway, regardless of whether it's connected or not. Lead acid batteries self-discharge, and they should be kept on a quality smart charger 24/7 when not in use on the Pod or else left connected and your Pod left plugged in to a power source when not in use. This will greatly lengthen the lifespan of your battery.
