Yeah, I don't think you're going to have to worry too much about idle draw! You're probably going to have to figure out ways to use all that power. Maybe you can sell off power to adjacent RV's :) I only have 360W solar PV's, and I don't have to run genny much.
Have you noticed how much your battery voltage drops under heavy load like the microwave. Mine drop from like 12.6 to into the 11's sometimes when running microwave or other hungry appliances. I know you're not supposed to let batteries fall below 12V (50% SOC), but is it OK to have them transciently dip into that range?
I wonder if people would pay $5 for a good 100% battery charge.
I don't worry about the voltage dipping under high load. I don't worry too much about the 50% rule either. I will not shut off the furnace just because the voltage is approaching 11.5v. Of course I would be looking to recharge asap.
