Maybe it would be a good idea though to ask posters how long they intend to boondock and their perception of "roughing it". Otherwise offering suggestions is pure guesswork and a pure waste of time and server storage JMHO
To Mr mexico wanderer. thank you senor troll. now back to your cactus and your siesta. yours is the only true waste I've found in this thread.
as for the rest of you, THANK YOU very much for your contributions(!) after my "o-p" I found the tutorial about living on the 12v side. it clarified the conv/chrg issue for me. but I still appreciate the intel on other peoples setups and diagrams there of. I see at least a hundred bucks in led lights forthcoming. before overhauling my d.c. system, I am in the process of identifying some extraneous wiring in the compartment. making progress. but there's a couple of tough ones still to go. then a couple of g.c. batteries.
thanks again
You just don't know what you don't know yet enough to understand Mex's reply (which was right on)
EG, check out "progressive capacity loss from successive 50-90s" as it relates to how long you can go before finding shore power for a couple days to do a "recovery"
Also, how it works if you take a week or two to get down to 50% just the once, and then try to do a recovery.
