    Patrick, It is my practice to go quiet at night so usually we are energy hogs until we go to bed at which time the generator is off. But through the night we are drawing batteries down from phantom loads, refrigerator, water pump (to make ice cubes of RO water, the aux compressor (slide seals), plus the loads from all the small current draw devices we are not using, but still draw power such as the TVs and the coffee maker.

    In the morning we have coffee, watch a little TV, I am on the computer, and we are having various lights lit so our house batteries are ready for a charge. If we are driving that is how they get a charge or if we are dry camping that is how they get topped off.

    The only time we run the generator all night long is if we need AC or if we need Webasto heat. Both draw enough power to require the batteries to be recharged prior to our normal wake up time.

    I was a Bluebird Wanderlodge owner for many years. Sold our last and 4th Wanderlodge a couple months ago.

    Before the new owner of my Bluebird arrived, I went to fill it up for the. This happened after I just filled up my new to us Liberty. The ride and quiet was hands down superior to the Wanderlodge. Me and another guy created the original wanderlodge forum 20 + years ago
