Electrical Power Draw on New 16.49-3 Expanda

Very very low.
We have 16 49 3 (2014) and use all lights as long as we want and need, 12v pump turned on all the time when free camping, tv on when we can bear to watch it (up to 2 hours per night for news etc) and we always have about 4 iPads, phones etc on charge via 12v.
All powered by 150 solar panel and standard 100 battery.
It is more than sufficient for power needs and charging, even in winter and overcast. So much so we have now ditched our portable 120 panel as we don't need it.
Good luck with calculations.

2 or 3 watts @robgo. The LED panels I replaced the the 16w wedge incandescents with where around 0.3 is amps per each panel, and like the current LED lights and 2 panels per fitting
Rogbo for the sake of conversion Power = Voltage X Current or P=VI so 16Watts = 12V X Current so the current draw is I = P/V = 16/12 which = 1.333Amps for the little incandescent room heaters and roughly 0.25A for the LEDs

0.25amps. Ha. I do the same thing. I know the calc it in my head, but when i have to explain it, and write it down i always bugger my watts and amps somewhere
