Our 5er was a big barn for heating compared with this Class C. With outside temps from 0 to 5C the furnace alone took about 100AH daily. Also ran the MW, toaster, and kettle as required plus watch some TV.
Had to have six batteries to keep up. That meant recharging 50-90s at least every second day with the Honda 3000 driving two chargers 100a and 55a, for 155 amps charging. No solar in the woods and short daylight times in winter anyway.
If there were any solar, the panels would be cold and do above their Voc ratings, which is what they warn about for frying the controller
