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...

While I agree 100 % with pianotuna, his calculations are wonderfully correct. It is my experience however, having to replace two new batteries every 6-7 years, used conservatively over and over, there is not much more room for use of an inverter except for shaving so as to not look homeless. After 2 OR 3 days dry camping my batteries are very much ready for a recharge and wouldn't want to draw them down much more at that point.
I like my little Honda Generator, it's a real life saver when your batteries are down. I can barely hear it inside the rv.
I'm not certain about my next statement, that even tho amp hour calculations are widely accepted, it is my estimation that the closer a battery gets toward a 50% depletion the less accurate the formula becomes. As well, the older a battery becomes, even tho it may still test good on a load test, the formula also diminishes with age of the batteries.
In a sense, I guess one can say that as a battery ages, the hours turn into amp minutes merely as a way of expressing the strength of a 2-3 year old batteries,
Sorry for the long post.
