Boondocking --- Average AH consumption/day?
I'm going to be adding solar to my 2015 Class C Majestic 28a. I currently have 2 lead acid batteries that state they have 122AH capacity each (from Walmart). I'm trying to figure out if I should add...

My 87 bounder had 300watts solar and 400ah battery. It did ok. Just got a 2001 31ft Itasca class C and put 680watts solar and 380ah of battery it does excellent
Good stuff! 680watts of solar sounds like a nice little power station!
Do you have a battery monitor and do you have any idea on average how many AH/day you are USING?
Using a rule of thumb of 30AH per 100w of solar, it appears your system is capable of putting ~200AH/day back into the batteries. Are you using that much? I was under the assumption that an "average" camper might be using 30-50AH/day (not counting any furnace usage).
Happy camping!
