Hi there. thank you so much for having me on the forum. My wife and I are planning on buying our first RV in may and taking the leap to live full time on the road. we are trying to do as much research before hand as possible to avoid too many complications later.
We are finding it hard to work out the powering of devices whilst on the road mostly because there is a lot of contradictory info out there confusing us. We want to run laptops microwave fridge, TV and kettle and a few other gadgets plus charge phones and Ipads. we are planning on getting a 500ah-1000ah deep cell battery with and an inverter to be able to power it all with solar panels for charging we were planing on having 3 batteries so that when we are using 1 we have 1 charging and 1 waiting to be used. what aspects of this setup have we missed? how long would a 1000ah battery last and would solar be the best way to charge since we are on the road and not hooked up to the grid? if possible and I know this is a big ask is there a better way of providing enough power that we haven't thought of. thank you so much for your help
