Newby Dry Camping Questions
Hi guys, So my wife and I are going to start dry camping. We have a 2007 27’ toyhauler w onboard generator. Most places im seeing do not allow generators 24/7 or are very limited usage if not allowed...

MARINE/deep cycle are primarily starting batteries You should keep them at 75-80% minimum.
GC-2 Golf car batterries (you need 2 in series to make 12 volt) are TRUE deep cycle. so is the GC-12 (a 12 volt Golf Car Battery) you can safely take ''em to half full
Some capacity averages (note specific battery may vary up to 15%
Group 24 75 amp hours (17.5 usable)
Group 27 just under 100 (25.o usable)
Group 29 Just over 100(25.0 usable)
Group 31 about 130(32.5 usable)
GC-2 Pairs 220(100.0 usable)
Applying your usage recommendations, makes those numbers much much worse.
But, I understood that GC2 could go to 80 discharge without damage, and the rest to 50% discharge.
