Don, I estimate my daily electrical draw at 300 amps per day, almost all of it due to my antiquated Norcold refrig. We don't have an inverter and the 30 amp battery charger as I mentioned, is pretty much useless when attempting to replace 300 amps a day. We have 440 amps in the house bank and that gets us through the night without a problem. Right now running the engines twice a day for an hour each time to charge the batteries works pretty well.

We may in the future get an inverter/charger, but right now we don't miss one. We have a butane burner that makes great coffee with a Coleman drip coffee maker and the burner works well when we need it for cooking. We do use our propane grill a lot.
