It looks like a Xmas tree inside at night!
Had a 40 yr old TT (everything manually operated) and now with the new 2019 TT when laying in bed, with all the lights out, all the parasitic loads and LEDs make it look like a Christmas tree inside the unit.
BTW, it has a constant electrical drain of 1.1 amps just for the parasitic loads and the Dometic refer. 25 AHs/day just sitting there!
Has/had a WEFCO power center and battery charger. NOT the best choice for recharging batteries dry camping and using a small Westinghouse genny.
Changed the battery charger out for a Xantrex 40 amp unit and it works great. 2-3 hrs on the genny and we're back at 90% on the batteries. Couldn't do that in 8 hrs with the original WEFCO charger as it only "tried" for 13.2 volts on charge and the Xantrex hits 14.1+ for a solid 2 hrs. Pumps in almost 30 amps for the first half hr then drops a little as the batteries come up.
The WEFCO charging profile is designed for FHUs all the time and not charging short times with a genny.
The Xantrex change out was easy. 5 wires and 2 screws.
