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...

On a side note, I'm loving being able to work while in the trailer without the genny. It's just about to rain here, and solar is still putting out just of 100W, keeping my laptop/phone charged up.
I'm jealous. I am roof real estate constrained and cannot maintain full autonomy without the genny.
Oh, one more AGM advantage; they charge faster and cheaper. It is not a big factor and for you, even less with your solar capacity. AGMs have less internal resistance which means when you do roll out the genny, less fuel is wasted fighting resistance and more fuel goes into actual charging.
This lower resistance works in your favor during those inverter runs as well; more energy gets to the inverter with less heating of the battery.
If 6V GCs are designed for golf carts, don't these golf carts run hard for two days and then sit in the barn on a charger for five days? Reconcile that against dry camping for 8 or more days. Can you finish charge, top off, or saturation charge a 6V GC while it is in use? One thing is for sure, your bank will get fully charged by 470W solar while in storage between uses.
