One of the solar controllers had gone off line, I think it was that way from the dealer, but a quick call to Jaboni fixed that issue. Our propane use is WAY down, still on our first bottle. Cook some and take the chill off in the morning. Our 3790 we had used a bottle every week or 10 days. So far so good!
Thanks djrich! I appreciate your first hand experiences.

I agree that for extended AC use that more solar and likely more battery power is needed; perhaps a lot more. I think we may still bring a portable generator for the times it may be needed (such as lots of AC use or several cloudy days, or camping in trees).
