Update: I would still like some advice on batteries, but I've decided our lantern and flashlights will have to work for this trip. A lot of what I'm reading is confusing because it assumes a prior base level of knowledge that I don't have. I hate just going to the dealer and trusting them without having a clue.
We are going camping tomorrow and it just sort of sunk in that we won't have any lights inside because there are no hookups. We're resigned to no water, but I think the lights will be more difficult to deal with.
Anyway, we do not have a 12v battery set up. Is it difficult to do? Does anyone know if the hookups are there or if we will have to wire it (which means a no go because we can't get it done today or do it ourselves)?
It's a 2000 coleman/fleetwood santa fe. I didn't really see anything in the manual that was helpful.
Also, the battery won't power the outlets, right? I'm confused about what you can run off 12v/dc/propane.
