Like many, I'm not sure what you're going for with this.
Small 5th Wheel, 2 7year old no-name GC's. I recently did a load test, and they seem to have about 75 to 80 of their rated capacity.
We are "on the road" 2 to 4 months every year, we prefer state/national parks, and dry camp at least 4 weeks or so a year. That would equate to about 200 days dry. I have a gen, and until a couple of years ago, that was our only source for recharge. We usually only needed to recharge once during the week, as we are very conservative. Cold weather and heater use sometimes did drain us down. Since adding 240 watts of solar we seldom need the gen; this year I only used it once.
