At one time I knew how many amp hours we used in a day, then we got solar and I stopped worrying about it. It's never the same trip to trip. Last trip it was cold and the furnace used the most. This trip we added a big inverter to run a microwave, hairdryer, coffee maker and the TV/satellite. So I have no idea.
We have two batteries. 95 ah for the TT and 250 ah for the inverter.
We have 490 watts of solar and left the generator home. I have it set up so we can combine both panels on one bank or split them up. With both panels on the Inverter bank we get little voltage drop and recovery is in minutes. A single panel will hold the voltage up for a 6 minute run of the microwave or a pot of coffee and recovery is around a hour.
