We also just finished a round of no-hook up camping, 9 days without having a site where we could plug in. My solar system had our batteries topped off every day except one. The peak output I saw was 75 watts into the battery but we also used the max sunlight as an excuse to recharge computers, tablets, phones, cameras...

We have "0" draw from heating but the fridge fans pull .25A as our biggest consistent draw.

Directv and the television drop 15AH for a full night of feeling like we are at home. The fantastic breeze running overnight is another 15AH hit.

A Trimetric is a geeks best friend for following usage!

For even less draw on power, skip the TV and play a game of cards or scrabble, or read a good book.

Nooks and Kindles are great for travel.

Everything you want to read in one compact item, that will recharge thru your dash invertor.

Or, build a fire outside, and watch nightfall descend around you.
