We have 300 watts of solar and 4 6v deep cycle Trojan batteries. We can easily run our TV and a computer, but we have a stove top percolator for coffee and don't use anything else off the batteries and inverter other than a Cpap which can run all night without the heated hose and barely draw any power. We don't have kids that camp with us so in 40 degree weather, we don't run the furnace. In fact, if it is going to be mid 30's, we don't run the furnace. The first person up starts the furnace and the Buddy heater if necessary. If we have hookups at a forest service campground, then we also run our fireplace (hey, I know that wasn't part of your question, but it's so nice to have the fireplace).
