Other wise the batteries will last all day.I have a 600 watt whole house inverter with two 6s. This system has been in use for about 7 years. My TT has 3 TVs. we use everything excepting the high amp loads as we wish and the batteries hold up fine.
Run a 500 watt load @ 75% SOC and tell us what your voltage drop is.. If its negligible Ill go six volt...
A few facts: I run my generator all night, when the electricity demand is the greatest. After DW makes her coffee in the morning, we switch to battery power, unless the microwave is needed. But, We have 4 dog collars charging, a laptop, two phones, 2 DeWalt 14V battery chargers and an electric razor at all times. At least 1 of the 3 TVs, and the satelite dish in use most of the day.
Water pump usage as needed. In short, we do not skimp. We live pretty much like we do at home.
I hope this helps.
I'm glad you never have camped near me. If you do, your likely to find the genny not working after about 10pm.
Grow up.
I have made it known constantly that I boondock in remote locations. If I can see another camper, it is too close.
And the reason I hate camping around others is illustrated by your post. The constant griping about what others are doing.
"His lights are too bright, his dog barks, his generator is too loud, his kids are too noisy, he woke me up too early, he woke me up late. his diesel is smelly, etc.etc.
And as for your bravado... Easily done on a keyboard. Not so easy in person.
