Boondocking and working with no electricity
Hey all, obligatory "just started fulltiming" (class C Coachmen leprechaun 32 ft) and we have been thinking about boondocking with the weeks that we have to be away from a thousand trails campgrounds....

A typical laptop battery is somewhere in the vicinity of 50-100 Wh. A pair of GC2 batteries has a usable capacity of roughly 1300 Wh. You could run the laptop for maybe a work week if you're lucky with no other loads on the GC2s with a DC-DC laptop power supply (i.e. a car adapter). Amazon, etc. have some generic car adapters that work and are not at all expensive.
Even with a single 12V house battery, and modest other house loads, you probably could work for a day with a car adapter powered by the house battery without needing the generator.
(Do remember, if using a car adapter or inverter connected to a lighter socket, that the dashboard lighter sockets are almost certainly connected to the chassis battery rather than the house battery.)
