Length of stay on this trip is overnight, three nights, with aprox 6 hours drive time during the days. So I assume I'll arrive at the GC each night fully charged from the tow vehicle.
Due to size limits, I will only be able to upgrade battery bank to 2 GC2 but this likely won't happen till down the road, The Genny will come first as it will run the AC and Microwave and top up batteries. And other than a light inconvenience of running the genny more often for coffee in the morning, it will be the best option at first.
I'm learned enough about my use.. and my gp24 and hope of using the coffee making sans genny to know I'll just get up every morning and fire up the genny and not worry about it.
Over the next year or two, I will move to two gc2 6v and about 200 watts of solar. This will reduce the genny run times to only Microwave and AC use when needed.
As far as leaving the home appliances at home.... no way, I have a trailer because I want the convience of home, to be mobile and to see the world and build memories for the kids. I could go back to tenting... my my 45 year old bones are done with roughing it. :)
Any my wife just piped up and adv, she does not do instant coffee.
