Added Some Boondock
My trailer came with a group 24 battery. Upgraded 2 years ago to group 27 and had 2 GC2 six volt on the ground hooked in parallel. Last 3 weeks in the heat, installed 2 grape solar 180 watt panel...

Some things I learned 9 days dry camping....
The majestic view camping spot on the FR9350 at the end of May did not have the same "sun" as the end of Aug. I camped in the exact same spot "pure luck" in the exact footprint. In May I had sun on the front of the TT all day. This time I didnt by about 5 feet. Only 4 hours of direct sun and shade from the trees (sun at different angle May vs Aug). When I got to the campsite it was Pouring cats and dogs and after setup I didnt notice till the next day.....I was NOT re-setting up everything, lol. Busted out the portable 100 with 50' cables to supplement.
Shading from trees will turn 22 amps into 6 or less. Really overcast about to rain still put out impressive 14-19 amps if no tree shade.
I ran an 80 quart freezer and 45 Engel as fridge avg 4.5 amps/hr every 24 hours, or about 110 amps per day.
That little 100 portable really saved me from dipping below 50% after microwave and coffee maker every day since it was getting 10 hours at about 6 amps.
