We had a bus conversion with a domestic fridge. The compressor was replaced with a 12v danfoss compressor. Never missed a beat. Our current camper has a modest size fridge. 12 volt only. Never missed a beat. Camper has a smart alternator and dc to dc. One 210 amp battery and 200watts of solar. Never without power or frozen ice cream. If the sun doesn't charge the battery while camping we can start the camper up and idle for about 30 minutes. Battery full again. They key is your expectations. But here in Australia a huge percentage of new campers are almost all electric with diesel heating. A/C it the weak link. -

Don't believe any stock battery compartment is heated. They off gas so has to be vented. Put mine in front area where generator would go. Cooled in summer and heated in winter. -

That is the "Mission Impossible" hosting site. The pictures self destruct after 3 months. For the permanent site, you will need to get Carl to fix things. -

Our trailer has a battery compartment that is not heated. I have looked at putting lithium batteries in our heated basement but the space that would be available would make it difficult to get to the batteries and would require rewiring a lot of items that currently go to the battery compartment, possibly having to increase wire size due to the longer runs. If we change to lithium, I will have to calculate the price difference between non heated and heated vs changing the wiring and coming by up with a way to access the space in the basement. We were is Southern Texas last Feb so cold temps can hit anywhere. I would like to know how much the heated batteries use in power to keep them above the temperature to charge them.
