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...

Probably not in the bell curve, but here goes. 600 AH of LifePO4 batteries, 1200 watts of solar. When we camp it's always off grid. Residential fridge consumes roughly 130 AH/day, rest is mix of TV/media center/NAS/computers, coffee maker, microwave, cell booster, furnace, CPAP. Figure 200-300 AH/day typical use, we don't fret over energy conservation. Inverter is always on. Battery capacity was figured with a use case that we'd need 2-3 days of full operation without much recharging (rainy days)
Solar in summer easily keeps up with demand, sunny day it's charged by 1pm. In the fall, on some days we won't make it back up to 100% each day, so batteries get recharged during the week when the humans are away and their toys are off ;). We also have an inverter generator as a backup, but almost never use it. Very happy with the performance overall.
