I removed the Norcold 1200 two years ago and replaced it with a Samsung 197. We have 4 6vdc batts and a MSW inverter. The only thing onboard now that uses propane is the stovetop, we have AquaHot. We have boondocked three times for 5 days each time. We had to run the generator twice a day for about 2 hrs each time to keep everything in running mode. The only problem we had was when we didn't get back to the coach 2 hrs prior to hitting the sack for the nite and shut the generator off after about a hour of running. In the morn I noted that the inverter had faulted and shut down and the house batts were at 10.7vdc. I was still able to start the generator OK. We have a solar panel that keeps the chassis batts up so I wasn't worried about being stuck. If we were to want to do more extensive boondocking I would add a few solar panels and recharge the house batts with them and reduce the running time for the generator.
