My plan is to start out with all 12 V inside, and just use a small portable car-style inverter for charging electronics. A lot of that will be done while driving, anyway.
What my question boils down to is this: How does one determine the size charger to get?
Solar is not in the plan; the expense does not seem justifiable, given that I already own a quiet generator. A lot of my travels will be in the Southeast US, with frequent cloud cover and shady sites preferred. Solar doesn't seem like much bang for the buck under those circumstances.
I'll probably go with 2 x group 27 AGM batteries, to get the 200 amp-hour bank. No maintenance and no need to vent.
