Our consumed amp hours last night - 230 ah. About 10 minutes of microwave, normal evening TV, LP furnace blower, etc. We're currently at 7850' elevation on the Mogollon Rim in AZ, so nights get pretty chilly.
wow, thats a lot of power usage. I use about 80-90AH at -5C (23F) with using the kurieg in the evening for coffee, some times a movie, but no fridge draw would be the difference I guess. what do you do if you hit 4 or 5 days of no sun?

Well, after doing some calculating, we actually are about the same.
Our residential fridge consumes 569 KWH annually according to the energy sticker. That works out to 1559 WH per day. Divided by 13 (average battery voltage) yields 120 AH per day.
10 minutes of microwave = 21 AH
So 230 minus 120 minus 21 = 89 AH per day.
