35 amp hours per day for that stuff? We would be closer to 6 amp hours per day to run that stuff in our Roadtrek, as our resting load is under .3 amps. With our compressor frig running, we may get close to 35 amp hours per day, depending on the weather.
Wow! 6 amp hrs per day?? About half the camping I do in my Roadtrek is dry camping, so power is an issue. I recently upgraded my coach batteries and I'm looking at adding some solar. I haven't measured what I really use, but I've noticed I can go 3 or 4 days before needing to run the generator with the fridge on propane. I've modified Gale Scholten's solar power calculator spreadsheet for the 210 Roadtrek using best guess estimates. If anyone is interested in using it, or updating it with actual measured numbers, it can be found
here. It does require Microsoft Excel but I also have a version that works with the Mac using Numbers.
