Nice to know I can make it through a long weekend without hookups without any inconvenience now. Honestly unless we need to run the AC, I'm not even sure I'll bother paying extra for an electrical site anymore.

Just a quick update - everything was fine. Running on battery power was a complete non-issue, they were still showing > 50% charge when we left on Sunday. I wasn't even all that careful about power after making it through the first night without the indicator lights even changing.

I still recommend 100 to 200 watts of solar and LED lights if you are thinking more often to be off grid.

A few years ago, we spent a week in Yellowstone in September, when temps got down to or below freezing at night. We have 2 group 27 batteries. We learned the first night that we couldn't keep the thermostat set at 69 degrees all night. The furnace's fan ran the battery down about halfway through the night.
When we started turning the thermostat down to 45 degrees at night, we could get 2, maybe 3 nights on a charge.
