Start here: 12v side of life.

amazing! I'll read this once I put the little man down for bed. Hadn't found this one in my googling! Looks pretty comprehensive, and starting at the basics. Thank you!

Wow! That was informative! I learned a ton reading that. So tell me if where I've settled is "correct". I'm thinking that 2 golf cart deep cycle 6v batteries wired together will suit my needs. Is the 200watt solar kit I liked above adequate to keep ~400 amp hours worth of battery alive under moderate usage? I realize I"ll have to rely on my generator for AC usage, but the outlets in my RV will have plenty of juice. The charge controller that comes with the kit will be sufficient to keep my batteries in good condition during storage, and during use? Would I have any need for the following?:

As I understand it, that is really only good for charging the batteries while hooked up to AC, correct? As I understand it now, I wouldn't have any need for that with solar panels and a charge converter, no? Unless I'm running heavy loads in the evening, and have access to shore power. Thanks for your patience, as I'm just starting to understand how this whole system works.
