I guess I am in the light duty category. I have 2 Sam's Club 6 v GC batteries. I charge with a 40 amp B&D charger to Ful then let the old Magnatec 950 charger float at 5 amps for a couple of days before I go camping. This usually lasts me about 7 days before I get to 50% SOC. The 5 amp float seems to give me several more days. A week is the longest that I have stayed in on place. Water is a greater concern than AH's. After 7 days I need water and have to do laundry and recharge so I go to a private CG with these facilities or go home if camping locally. I follow all your solar threads but can't quite justify it yet because I still don't exercise my generator enough to recharge the batteries.
