I have had SUVs for decades (98 Durango, 2010 Expy, now 2023 Exp SPP)
I have a use pattern that is causing problems only with the 2023.
I camp at music festvials. Car camping. So I am in and out of the truck frequently. It's where I keep the coolers and food out of the sun and safe from critters as well as store less used items that don't need to take up tent space.
This has always been fine before, but with the 2023 it seems like 2 days or so is the limit before the battery gets low and it goes i to dark mode. (and if I ignore it, it goes dead).
Is there anything I can do to extend this? Really what I would like is to turn off EVERYTHING except for the door locks. But every time I open the door all the computers and screens wake up. I assume this is the difference with the new truck.
Thanks in advance for tips and ideas.
(One note. Last year I added a small solar panel and battery tender. This works, but it's a pain to set up AND only works if it is sunny.)
