I will be going full time in the spring 2015 and need to know a few things. I will mainly be boondocking about 90% of the time and I have a pretty steep power requirement for this to work.
I will be running:
1) Laptop for 8-12/hrs/day (work/entertainment)
2) RV lights (LED)
3) A Box fan 8/hrs/day (to keep cool)
4) Water pump (For shower)
How many hours/days can I go before I have to charge my batteries?
Is this even possible? I see most new RV's with huge flat screen TV's and Microwaves and wonder how long the juice lasts? Do these riggs have the TV's but they only last 3 hours a day? Or do they run the tvs then crank the genny on to watch a movie (kinda silly). OR does the power last long enough for a few days on their battery systems?
I am just trying to get a feel for how long my stuff will run in order for me to work and be comfortable while boondocking. I know about power inverters and solar (which I will be installing).
Basically I just need some general thoughts on the question
Thanks!
