Our '05 Starcraft hybrid had a (useless) Elixir converter.
The shakedown for the new TT was 2 weeks of no-hookup camping. Current mods:
All LED lighting including the hood fan.
2-G29 12V batteries. To do over I'd go with 2 GC batteries.
An IOTA 55A deck-mount converter in the pass-through to suppliment the factory WFCO (disconnected.)
Honda 2000i generator. It runs everything except the AC.
2-gallon accumulator tank on the water system.
I didn't realize the slide-mounted fridge has vent fans, an added draw.
I try to run the generator an hour a day but can go 2 days on the batteries.
I have a macerator pump and 30 gallon barrel mounted in the bed of the truck. Didn't want a tote, and this works for me.
Also have a 15 gallon barrel for hauling fresh water. We refill it whenever we're out.
