Hi Cheryl,
If you drive 8 hours a day you might get 50 amp-hours returned to the battery bank. Parasitic loads may be as much as 35 amp-hours per day. That doesn't leave much energy for you to use with the inverter.
Add solar, or add a generator.

No generator, no solar. Hoping driving around will power the house batteries. It won't? Am I walking myself into a corner?
I guess a 1-2000 watt generator is also something I have to fork out the money for. I have no Toad and any generator needs to stay in the coach with me.
