Batteries - What do you use
Have a 32' 5th wheel - the dealier looked at me as though I was crazy when I made him add batteries when I bought it, configured for (1)12v upgraded to (4)12v in all. He did it with 4 Exide dual purp...

I have two sets of two 12v deep cycle batteries (Sears Die Hards). The first set is used for the normal 12v house battery type stuff (lights, pump,frig..etc)
The other set is used to power our 2000 watt inverter for when we are boondocking.
Both sets can be tied together if needed.
I carry two Honda 2000i generators with the parallel kit. If I need A/C I use the two, otherwise we just use one of the generators.
I have found this to be the best solution for our needs. I've ruled out solar since we usually stay where it's OK to run the generator during the hours that we need it (rarely beyond 10PM or before 8AM). We park away from any neighbors so they won't be disturbed.
