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...

Depends on the temp and how much shade is available.
Direct sun and much warmer than 70 degrees out, yeah, genny will be purring along to drive the A/C to keep the camper from turning into an oven.
Shade and in the mid to low 70s, naw, don't need it except for when I need to run higher wattage A/C appliances, like the microwave or toaster. Likely will run it for a couple hours to charge the batteries back up to replenish from any movie watching or computer use off the inverter the night before.
