Battery recommendation
As some may know..I had my battery ripped off today. Looking for recommendations.. 12v? 6v? A local guy can get me 6v Trojans for $200 each...

10 straight days of dry camping means you need to be serious about conserving as much of your battery reserve as possible but using a microwave especially doesn't fit that scenario at all, even with a couple of 6 volt batteries. Run that MW any length of time at all and you'll draw a significant amount of battery power that could otherwise be used much more efficiently for other purposes, such as running your LED lights as much as you want or for far more important tasks such as keeping your fridge electronics running. This is just not a realistic plan without a much more substantive battery bank and a means to efficiently recharge that bank on a regular basis.
