When it comes to power, there is little difference between dry camping and boondocking. In this case the difference is he could have started the generator at night when the battery went dead and on one else would have known.
You said you ran the generator for a hour the first time, that wasn't long enough to do the job. Also when you left your inverter on while not in use it was sucking your battery down.
We used a generator 2 hrs a day last year and never had a issue even though we we using the furnace and watching movies and such. Replacing the lights with LEDs helps and we probably could have gone every other day if we had too.
