dry camping
Last year we dry camped for 3 days/nights. We have a champion 2000W inverter generator, and a group 31 battery, and i assume a WFCO converter. We handled that ok. I did figure out that the charging...

I would always recommend two batteries for off-grid camping. Trade the 27 in on a new 31.
Yes Get a new converter even use it as a portable charger to go direct on the battery. WFCO is fine the rest of the year.

Or for the budget:
35 amp Powermax on amazon $92
As predicted, a totally unreasonable recommendation to spend the OP's $$$ from an American forum member who doesn't appreciate just how costly this stuff is here in Canada, especially if ordering online from any American supplier. Secondly, the OP isn't a regular dry camper and therefore won't come anywhere near reaping the advantages of spending so much for a new battery and converter when what he already has - one battery, a 2K genset to recharge it, plus a spare G27 - will suffice nicely. :R
I still recommend two batteries and an improved converter for camping off-grid. The OP is already considering the Progressive Dynamics replacement.
Low cost is do nothing. So why even post if doing nothing is the max budget?
The linked suppliers are just an example to see the item. Shop around. Or drive south of the border and purchase. Or since you are from CA how about post a link from a Canadian supplier to actually help the OP instead of rant on my suggestion.
