When I initally got the RV I could get quite a bit of use of the RV with the inverter turned on before the batteries discharged. The kids could watch TV for example. I currently get very little - if I disconnect from ac with batteries fully charged I get very little battery life. The batteries go from 12.5 volts down to 10.5-11 volts per the remote panel on my inverter quickly.
