Yes we are close to civilization when we camp in Elkmont CG in the Smoky Mtn NP. Pigeon Forge is about 20 miles away down the mountain. That is where I buy gas for my truck and generator and could no doubt get a generic RV/Marine battery. A two gal tank lasts about a week running the EU 1000 to power the Wifco converter. Peak charge current for the single Trojan 12V battery is typically 12-16A. The generator runs about 4-5 hours every morning. At least once a week I connect an automatic charger that will charge at a higher rate. We run a ceiling vent fan all night and water pump/ lights. Works for us for many years.
