Hypothetical Winter Camping Electrical Limits
Hi, I used to have a very old tow-behind trailer that I used during the winter in Colorado; 2 batteries, 2 propane tanks. Since the furnace had no fan it was easy to be out a week, dry. Now I did...

I will be seriously looking at lithium batteries and solar. A big question with campers will be does one need to be wet all the time in all geographic locations, and I don't have to utilise the more challenging environments every year. Maybe I can be wet 90% of the year.- Bill
Just so you know, solar and cold is not really a great solution for power. Lots of variables and work involved. Going the no generator approach is going to be a problem. IMHO. Also, Li Batteries do not work well with cold. So you need to research this well. As well as the current prohibitive cost for Li Battery Banks. A good friend of mine runs an all Li Batt bank set up, Reed Cundiff, and does spectacularly with it, too. He would be a source to check into, if that is indeed your direction. For me? I run two separate battery banks (redundancy) and location considerations/FWC and AGM.
Good luck.
