What electric stuff do you run in your TC (for comparison's sake)?
O2Cool fans/1-10"-12v and two small 5" battery operated.
12V TV
DVD player off of inverter
Engel 40qt Refer/Freezer
Coffee is perked in a glass percolator or single drip
Then a host of things like an Ice Maker etc when we run the generator to charge the batteries..
I have a one year old group 27 to run the TC and a 4 year old group 27 in a wheel well and a 4 year old group 24 in another wheel well with a new AGM 90AH in a smart battery box W-Volt meter for the Engel refrigerator/cell phones/tablets and temperamental stuff..
No solar whatsoever..It works for us and has for years..
So you have 4 batteries and a generator. OP is talking about how to minimize her power needs and expenditure. Hardly relevant
Is the ice maker for ice to cool the swamp cooler water??
