Hmmmm. Ok I see, well I wouldn't be running it constantly thats for sure, just as needed or when the batt was low. They also had a 3000/3250 propane generator there too (also champion) They had some larger Generacs as well. Hmmmm... I wasn't planning on getting one and just running off the battery but last year I had to hook the truck back up to it and charge the battery some after a few days of boondocking. I thought about getting a 2cnd battery and switch to flip it to the other one when it got low. Decisions, decisions...
I was able to hook my truck up to the trailer batteries with jumper cables and let the truck idle for an hour or two to charge them up when they got low . I only had to do this once or twice a year so it made sense for me to not buy and maintain a generator for the very little run time I would need it for.
A 140W solar panel can also solve your problem if you will not be in heavy shade. A portable solar panel that you can move around to follow the sun can be very effective.
Switching to at least some LED lights in the RV can dramatically reduce electricity use.
