dry camping
I own a 2005 38' diesel pusher. I plan to dry camp using my generator during the day and battery power at night. I have two deep cycle house batteries. My question is how many hours should the batter...

No 120v compressor driven Air-Conditioning using batteries
Two batteries approx 200 amp hours total, 100 amp hours, too reach 50% discharge
You do not want to discharge until dead, this is very hard on the batteries
100 amp hours is about 10 hours of television
But using lights weather pump etc.. subtract from that
Dry camping is a matter of Power Management
Try it at home this week end,
Or some place close by,
It's a learning process, learning to balance generator run time for heavy appliances and battery recharge against power use
