hi mr wizard
if i had to add it up, i'd say it ran about 10-12 hours total for the weekend (average time on from 7-10 pm each night (3 nights), and a couple of hours here and there during the day/afternoon), if only to charge the battery, and 75-80% of that time, running the A/C and the TV/DVD
last year, i had borrowed a dinky 2000 gen just to keep the battery charged, didn't even try to run the A/C, but did run the TV/DVD player for the kids (i have one that hates the races and this was my bribe to get him to come and not whine so much), with the heat being well over 90 all weekend, i was glad i had the bigger unit (plus it was mine) so that i had the option of running the A/C, i'm not a heat person (bleah, you guys in the south can keep it!), and with the humidity, plus 50,000 some odd people camping at NHIS and no breeze, it gets unbearable pretty quickly (this is my 8th year at NHIS)
i also don't tend to use the microwave and will be looking to replace it with the convection/micro combo at some point (no oven in my unit and i'd rather bake than nuke)
