Going to head south in a couple days. In the past I have used 4 six volt batteries and I have four. We will be doing some bonndocking. We have a 2000 gen as well. Of course it’s extra weight. Go...

I'm in the "as many batteries as you can fit or afford ... whichever comes first" camp.
As such, all we can fit are a couple of 12V Group 31 AGM batteries. We can go about three (3) days on these before recharge ... keeping our propane/12V refrigerator of course on 24/7, using two non-heated CPAP machines during the nights, and keeping the furnace set to 65 degrees during the nights.
We can recharge three different non-solar ways: The main engine alternator, the built-in 4KW generator and the converter, or a 650 watt portable generator and the converter. These recharging methods work well because AGM batteries charge faster than liquid acid battereis - but they do cost more to buy initially.
