Some of us have found that with solar, led lights, led tv we do not even need 2 batteries.
I run 1 100ah AGM... We charge phones, laptops etc, watch tv 2 hrs at a time but not every day.
Winter, solar and all the 12 vdc things we do stated above and the Wave to provide a majority of heat we do not need the gen, shore power. The solar keeps us charged. There are some stormy days that we have needed to do the Gen or shore power.
My daily 12vdc loads are <>15-20 non need for the furnace and 20-25 using the furnace for heat assist in the mornings or when we have left the camper for the day and return at night.

Yea for the wave! Leave it on low and go have fun! No furnace.
