Hi SS - I have an 03 190 with 1 battery. I have changed my lights to LED, tend to run the fridge on propane. We can easily get 5 days from the single group 27, without driving. I have recently added a portable 100W PV (solar) system, since these days I find I use more amps charging things, like smartphone, tablet, GPS, camera batteries, etc. That kept the battery going for 5 nights last month, and that was in a shaded location (hence why I went with a portable system - move it to catch the most photons)! Another battery adds another 75-ish pounds - my PV system adds 30#. I prefer that 2nd compartment for outside storage of items like my 1# propane grill cylinders, Coleman fuel, etc. - stuff I don't want to carry inside the van! ST
