Newbies can be a challenge at times.

I have owned an RV of some type for over 25 years.
We also have friends that are relatively new to the RV world.
Our advice often is ignored because "they think they know better", or they just don't want to spend any money. They they are unhappy when things go wrong.

It can be difficult later not to say...."I tried to tell you".
We still just try to help as best we can.

Huge and somewhat pricey difference between flipping the switch on at home and trying to dry camp. Between our Honda 3000 and the panels on the roof it took $6000 +

On the other hand none of this stuff is one size fits all. Everyone does it differently

Yes - different for everyone. We have a small LED TV and all LED lights in a small camper with no microwave use. We spent 6 days last year at the Grand Canyon in partial shade, furnace and TV on every night, and never went below 12 volts with our setup, and no genny. Since then we've gone from 330 watts solar to 495.
