Re: Running your engine while using high draw items?
Ours is an '03, but the build was '04. We have the first deal with the emergency start switch. As such, if I run the microwave without running the van, I can see a huge drop on the house batts. If i run the van during this process, the drop is considerably less. This, of course, is happening in the sun. Really don't need the van to run if sun is above, but I generally run it. At night, I definitely want to run the van to keep the batts topped off after microwave use. According to my solar panel display, my house batts get immediate attention when I run the diesel engine.
