Not certain where to post this or even if it's a good idea but some of us lazy people would like to know how much battery storage you should have on hand. Yes, we are all different and have different consumers, but I think if enough people post their consumption, others could get a good idea what real life people consume.

My last boon dock adventure I used about 500ah in 72 hours [three days/two nights]. The only major consumer regularly used was the propane heater. Weather was good at 45-60F.
About 7ah an hour
170ah a day.

If you elect to post your results, post the conditions so others can get a good idea if they match their conditions.
 
Approximately 200 Ah per day to support 12-volt frig (about 125 Ah per day) and all other uses including the inverter.
 
I've not checked on total usage, but the usage for my Norcold 2118 (18.xx cu ft) refrigerator that has been converted over to the JC Refrigeration Twin Compressors system will use approx. 145AH in a 24 hour period all by itself. That makes me happy that when I decided to build my LFP battery I chose 302AH cells for the build.....but then again, we don't really boondock.
