That is a pretty big battery bank. What batteries are you using?
This experience shows what is possible if you design your system properly for the way you plan to use your coach. Essentially, you could go for months without out getting out the generator, as long as you don't need to run the A/C very much.
I like that you were able to run your A/C at night if you needed to.David and Peggy

Another reason that going high dollar is not the only way to go.
Going with the SOK batteries saved about $5k-$6k in batteries alone [compared to Battle Born]. I've heard issues with Renogy but once I got a good inverter, I have not had a problem with my Renogy components since then.

I see two panels on the ground but are there any on top? Opps, a little late with my question.
