1800 Ah is plenty. Are you sure you need all this?
I might suggest going in half size and expand as needed.
I think so. I used that Solar sizer Excel sheet and came up with a value around 250Ah per "heavy" days which I assume will be about half the time. This setup will hopefully keep the usage under 40% each day, which I assume is good for the battery. I will need close to 1000w of solar panel according to the sheet (based on the assumption that I only have 4 hours of sunlight per day - is this a good assumption?)
Basically, I'd like to continue working while full-timing and my wife likes to watch TV and use PC during the evenings. We will have a large TV (at least 46-inch, probably bigger) and we both will be using a large screen laptops heavily - minimum 5 hours a day. We own lots of gadgets too, which require charging.
We enjoy outdoor lifestyle which we intend to do during the day, but we are going to be busy during the evenings in the trailer and it will be somewhat power hungry. :)
