OK, let's carry that on out.
0.2 a x 24 hours = 4.8 ah/day
4.8 ah/day x 7 days = 33.6 ah/week
33.6 ah/week x 4 weeks = 134.4 ah/month
If your trailer is sitting in storage over the winter, what will that do to your battery? Remember that a Group 24 battery has roughly 75 ah. Two of them, have roughly 150 ah, but you don't want to go below 50% charge, so 75 ah are available. At 4.8 ah/day, you hit the 50% mark at about 2 weeks, with EVERYTHING turned off. THAT is a whopping amount.
If you are boondocking and trying to conserve every amp-hour for your use, does that help or hurt? At 4.8 ah/day from a (usable) 75 ah in the battery, you are losing right at 6.5% of your battery's capacity EVERY DAY, just to the inverter (which is turned off). THAT is a whopping amount.
