[C320-list] Reefer Power

[Warren Updike]

The numbers I've used are 5A and 40% duty cycle.  There are a lot of factors
that determine consumption.  I understand the older unit may be 6-7A. Mine
is 15 yrs old, never been serviced, and uses 5A when running.

Pat,
I figure a 5.0 amp draw, on approx 1/3 of the time for 40 AH per day for  
the reefer alone.
Others, who have current monitoring devices, might have better data.
