Hi,
Unless you have beefed up the charging path, very little will be sent to the "house" battery bank from the alternator. Think BIG fat wire (#4?).
With a small battery bank it is better to do closer to 150 watts of panels for each 100 amp-hours of storage. With that small a bank, Keurig is going to be a gen set run.
We have run the gp24 down to about half a couple times, then by the time we've got home, it's full. When the brake control/7 pin was put in, I mentioned I wanted the ability to makre sure it charged the house battery and the tech response was "nothing to worry about"... and I guess I never really thought about it after that. lol
