Just thought I would throw this out. When my wife and I have boondocked in Oregon or KOFA or both, we have went for three weeks with two
120 amp 6 volt batteries (wired to 12 volts) powering our fridge, furnace and powered our TV/DVD for 2 to 4 hours in a 24 hour period.
We were running our generator between two to four hours each day to charge things up. We keep an eye out for cooler temps so as not to underestimate our need for heat at night which is also relying on battery power as well. LP is our friend for fridge & heat.
That is probably 32 to 34 gallons of gasoline for three weeks or about 11 gallons per week. $50 plus per week at Quartzsite. A good trade off for 7 days. We really like this set up and ability to stay out and away from things on trips.
