Boondocking --- Average AH consumption/day?
I'm going to be adding solar to my 2015 Class C Majestic 28a. I currently have 2 lead acid batteries that state they have 122AH capacity each (from Walmart). I'm trying to figure out if I should add...

It was 5.51a coming from the panel and 3.3a to the trailer.
Took that back at noon. Only thing running is my ab fridge and this laptop plugged into a small inverter.
You guys are smart. How much of that 2a difference would you expect to be going into the batteries? Is a good percentage just wasted heat? Or were both of those true? Yes going into the batteries....and yes wasted heat?
They are (2) costco 6v.
Not clear as stated. "From the panel" and "to the trailer" does not quite mean "from the controller to the trailer" and "to the battery out of what comes from the controller"
Wasted heat is inside the battery after the amps get to the battery posts. (charging efficiency)
I got a 6 amp DC draw with my 60w laptop on inverter being powered by trailer batteries. If I had 5 amps of solar at the time, it would all be going to the inverter powering the laptop and another amp from the batteries to make 6 total.
