I have been retired for 11 years now and dry camp 95% of the time. I am more of a traveler like Alaska, Canada, out west for 3 months in summer, and SW or Fla for 3 months in the winter, I like to move around rather than stay in one spot. Locally I fish for 3-4 days in SP's with no generator charging. I have 2 6v GC batteries and minimal electric reqs, so batteries last 7 days before reaching 50% SOC with no generator usage and no solar. Battery power has never been my limiting factor, it has always been water. I only have a 60 gal tank so after 7 days I need water, clean clothes, and my wife wants to wash the bedding. I have a 180 amp alternator so I get some charging between campsites(although not much). I don't go more than 2 weeks without fully charging my batteries at an electrical site with laundry facilities.
