Just as an example...
I love having my whole house inverter. Everything is powered by it, including the MW and AC.
I never turn the inverter "off" unless the trailer is in storage. Parasite AC and DC loads are about 10 amps combined. This is including television, various chargers, a small server, WiFi and cellular radios, COLP alarm, etc. A 400 amp-hour battery bank means I don't have to scrimp.
If I stop at a rest area for a lunch break on a hot day I can fire up the AC, microwave some pizza rolls and watch TV for an hour, without messing around with the generator. Getting back on the road, I'll start the generator in the truck bed and put back the electricity used.
