So really with the Energy Audit, I want to figure out, morning coffee, lights, water running for clean up and washing. How many nights I could do this... (based on time used for each device of course)... if I would need to fire up the genny.. or would the tow vehicle be enough to top off the battery?
And of course, I'm a tech geek at heart and know that i'll be switching to a bigger battery and likely solar at some point.. so it's all good stuff to know. :)
LED TV draws very little, and so do other things that you mentioned (those that won't be run off the generator). You may or may not get get another battery, doesn't matter, since you plan on running a genny 2-3 times a day, just run it 10-15 minutes longer each time. For the same reason, I think you don't need a solar.
