It would seem the issue is not what size battery but what convenience items you can do without.
When we pull the plug we lose the television, the microwave, airconditioner, the fans and anything else we plug in. We also lose the ability to easily recharge cameras, cell phones, kindle, computers etc. unless we use the TV battery.
Our factory battery will last about two days, perhaps more now that we have converted to LED bulbs. As canoe and tent campers non-electric is no big deal and we do like the convenience of a large aluminum tent.
We have camped the TT without electric when it was not available but usually just for a day or so.
There are places we would like to boondock too, mainly on BLM land out west but it takes more than a big battery, it takes the right mindset. Many of the boonies sites are also communication deserts. In essence you have to like "camping" not RVing.
