Late Fall camping is tough...I had a pair of the Costco/Interstate GC2's on the TT and between audio/video and furnace all night the batteries would be hovering at 50% when I got the genset going the following evening, then 14.4v boost mode for the charge to get back to 90+% in the allotted 3 hrs of gen run time under park rules. The batteries were 5 years old when I sold the trailer, they would have needed replacing if I kept it.
I'm looking forward to the new set up with 4 of these batteries.
I am a little more lucky in that time of the year as I am usaly by myself as its to cold for the wife, so I take the truck camper instead of the 5th wheel and the only real draw I have is the furnace, lights, waterpump and a trace amount for the fridge. so on two GC batteries I can go 3 days with out the solar or be fully charged by noon each day if the sun is out.
