To live the same way for microwave etc, exact same standard of living, with our rig (a barn to heat) it takes 200AH/day at 35F in February. But it takes maybe 70AH day to do the same in summer at 80F out in the open (long warm days means few lights and little furnace)
Heating in your RV, same as 99% of them, is not optimized for offgrid on solar.
But, with estimated average daily harvest 28 AH from 1000W flat panel in this area in December, I can hardly see myself doing it even if heating would come from some magical source. Especially if the week when I camp would get less than average sun (read - 20 hours of rain every day for a week). Winter here sucks, big time.
