Purchased two A-ipower powered by Yamaha costco generators.

now thinking;
Step 1: Buy PWD30-EPO which protects against surges but can also monitor shore power energy usage. I still would prefer a hard-wired version. Especially if the junction box mentioned in this thread proves to be prep for it.

First few times camping we are intending to go to a campground with shore power. So..
Step 2: Use the data from the PWD30 to determine our energy usage (Ah) per day based on actual experience.
Step 3: Upgrade batteries to ensure we have enough Ah to last 24hrs(?) at 50% discharge. Top up batteries with generator couple hours a day.
Future mods:
Add enough solar panel/solar charge to replace the generator (apart from air conditioner requirements)
Any thoughts appreciated. Especially how much Ah of battery would be needed based on usage. (I am thinking with 50% DoD you would need batteries at double your daily use? Eventually enough solar panels to meet the daily use?
