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...

Out here in the mountain west/southwest part of the country where the sun boldly shines well over 300 days a year, I suggest a 100 watts per battery. The whole thing with boondocking effectively is having a multi-pronged solution to replenishing consumed DC reserves.
Having a decent amount of solar onboard is just one factor, having a multi-stage converter capable of quickly restoring consumed amp hours via an efficient inverter generator eliminates the worry of running out of power during inclement weather scenarios.
We installed a couple of inverters, one for the whole house which we rarely use, and a smaller one in entertainment center that gets heavily used every trip when boondocking. Once again, having the ability to replenish our DC reserves at any given moment allows us to enjoy all our rig's amenities as we see fit.
