question about batteries
Help me understand what can and can't be run off of battery power. Obviously I realize the A/C can't be run, but what else? I see where people are talking about upgrading their battery or getting a 2...

I don't have an RV yet. :)
I am just trying to do all the research I can before I get one.
That is nice to find out that my furnace blower can be run off of 12V DC. One of the salesmen I talked to told me that it DEFINITELY would not run it.
So, what happens to the DC only things when I am plugged in to shore power? Do they continue to run off of battery, and then the shore power keeps the battery charged? Or is there a converter that will convert AC to DC when I am plugged in? If it is the former, then that tells me I always need a battery, whether I am plugged in or not. Correct?
If I am understanding everything correctly, I could bring a small generator (2000W) and be able to charge my batteries and be able to run my TV, built in stereo, or even the coffee maker or microwave (just not at the same time) Pretty much everything except the AC?
Thanks
Tim
