I lived in my TC for just over five years (4 nights/ 3 days per week) in a parking lot due to my work requirements. I have had my TC since 2004. It is a 1988 Bigfoot, 11.5 foot.
My biggest challenge was battery use. Simply stated, how many Amp Hours (AH) did I need per day, and how did I replace the. Only something like a Trimetric can tell you how many AHs you used/using, how many you have, and how many you are putting back into your battery. In my case, my battery has 100 AH. I used 22 to 26 AH per day. I only have/need one 100 AH AGM battery, and 130 watts of solar. I think the furnace is a battery hog. I seldom use mine, and use a Wave3 heater instead.
I used my laptop and watched TV from 3 to 4 hours per night. I only used my Honda 2000 when I wanted to use my A/C or microwave. If you are interested, I can provide details.
