My truck draws 20 amps with ignition on, heater blower on low, and headlights on. If I changed all small bulbs to LED, that would drop to about 14 amps.
I fantasize about an alternator delete, a deep cell battery, and a solar panel on the topper with charge regulator. But I would need enough battery capacity to run 4 hours without recharging, and that much battery will not fit under the hood.
