Hi B W Ganoe,
In a recent posting, you wrote:

Suggestion:
1 - Now that you know you have a 12 volt leads at your jack post, perhaps one of the
jack post
lights (that wrap around the post and have an on/off switch) would add new convenience
to your after
sunset arrivals in campgrounds.
2 - If you're really gung ho, and if you have a flag pole holder attached to your jack
post, and if
you have a tall flag pole for your USA flag, there are 12 volt spotlights for
illuminating the flag
after dark, i.e. at rallies or on a caravan. A simple two prong rubber plug could tap
off the
existing leads to your jack post light and not be in the way when the spot light isn't
in use.
3 - Then, there are the 12 volt decorative holiday lights, i.e. Halloween,
Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Independence Day, etc. depending on your interest.
See that? I can think up ways to run down your batteries while boondocking without
solar panels. Of
course, that wouldn't be an issue if electric hookups were available to run the
Univolt.
