It is a lifestyle thing of course, but we don't have any need for hot water except in the morning. All day-before dishes saved till morning and one 6 gal tank of hot water is good for shave, showers, wash dishes.
We do all this in the evening before bed. I like to hit the ground running in the AM, not bogged down with chores from previous day. To each their own.
If you are on the road with overnight stops, yes. We generally stay in one spot for days/weeks, so no rush to put the dishes away so we can hit the road.
Going swimming up at the lake in the afternoon reduces need for showers too. Just did five weeks straight off grid at our usual campground. No issues, good solar, no limit on MW, kettle, toaster. (Having the four Wet 6s means they can take repeated 25% draws, where the previous AGMs seemed not able to for whatever reason)
12v does great at shorter 25% draws as with MW. No need for 24v in our case. Of course no off-grid air conditioning requirement which might make a diff --nice breeze off the water does that. Scenario is everything!
It seems the air conditioning requirement for many here is what is causing so much trouble folks are posting about.
