The only item that is a power hog on most boats is the refrigeration system.
Sure boaters in the south ma require air cond 24/7 , but they mostly accept the need for a couple of gensets , and not much battery power.
A boat with a propane reefer and freezer , and range only requires minor electric for anchored out weeks or months. WE DO IT!
Why bother with multiple electric systems , thousands of pounds and dollars of aging batt sets ?
Any big juice eater like a water maker can operate when the laundry is being done.
Larger FW tanks and no watermaker to buy/install/maintain/repair.
Why the need? What lifestyle is the Desirement????
