Rycher,
One way to do an energy audit is to use a Kill-a-Watt meter. You do have to limit demand to 15 amps (1800 watts).
I did get a watt meter that can handle 100 amps @ 120 volts.
That's a good way to measure the AC loads but it generally won't cover the DC loads.
If you are trying to do this on shore power, the OP will have to operate as if he doesn't have shore power. If the OP cranks up the air/con, leaves all the lights on and runs the slow cooker for 5hours, it's going to take a massive battery bank.
