as well as plan to add a 1500w inverter so I can make popcorn in the microwave without firing up the gen.
Now you are getting close to a justification for more battery capacity.
BUT....a 1500W inverter will require a bit more than 100 amps, continuous 12 V input, if you get anywhere near its top capacity.
That will require close attention to the 12 V input wiring....and ventilation of the inverter.
SO....I don't understand the aversion to running the generator.
Do you ever stay in a place the prohibits generator use ??
If not, I personally think you are killing an ant with a shotgun here.
When you want to make popcorn, run the gen and leave it on for at least an hour. That is an hour that you won't have to run it later to replenish the batteries.
