Am I asking to much from 2x T105's?
I posted a month or so ago about my new solar install, and some issues I was having with the low voltage alarm on my Xantrek 2000W Prowatt while running my coffee maker (Tassimo). I was able to check...

Most people don't have half that weight in batts. Also, don't need that much weight in solar either. A big 270W panel weighs 44 lbs. That's overkill for most people. BFL13 has 270 lbs in batteries plus a ~30 lb 130W solar panel and he uses his MW with impunity. Also, that little bit of weight does not affect the TV at all period. I had my 400 lb batt bank in a lightweight 5th wheel (9500 lb GVWR) and I couldn't tell the difference with it installed or with a pair of grp 24's. My fuel mileage couldn't tell either and I live in a mountainous area too.
I considered solar/inverter but figured I would be lugging around 500 pounds of batteries plus hundreds in solar panels and wiring/components. The tow vehicle has to burn fuel to haul all the solar equipment and batteries.
