Do You REALLY Need To Run your Genny?
Just got in from our first dry camping experience with our new camper and dual battery setup. Genny hours are 9-11 and 5-9. We actually had two family campers there and each had a 2,000W Honda genny...

Dry camping we can go three days/two nights without using the generator and that includes a couple of hours watching tv at night. Unless it is below 40 degrees. The colder it is, the faster our batteries drain. At 40 degrees we can go two days/two nights. At 30 degrees we can go two days/one night. We have two group 27 12V right now. If we are going for a weekend and the weather is predicted to be above 40 the entire time, we won't take the Honda 2000. If it is really hot we run a fan plugged into a small converter. But we have never seen an overnight temp above 80 so we have been pretty lucky. We don't use blow dryers and microwaves in our daily life, so we don't miss them camping.
