Where do I start electrical system improvements? I am currently replacing internal lighting with LEDs. I feel my next step is to add 2 batteries to my existing two 6 volt Interstate batteries. What else would I need and what is the estimated cost. Thanks
You will need to tell us what you mean by alternate weeks. Do you mean one week dry camping followed by one week on shore power?
If so, then you will be fine by using your genny to keep your batteries working for a week. Keep your batteries above 12.0V.
The following week on shore power will keep your batteries healthy.
If you are wondering if you will wear your batteries out to soon, you need to consider whether it is cheaper to have twice as many batteries, or just replace fewer batteries more often. I am in the latter camp, fewer batteries.
