I have a 12 KW NL along with 54,000 btu of AC/heat. When the gen is running to keep it properly loaded, I pretty much run everything on the boat. As the gen usually runs at cooking times, 1 to 2 hours a day of gen time will usually keep the batteries in a good range of charge. Once you start trawler style cruising monitoring your battery condition becomes critical
