Fun with no sun and just a little solar!
Since no one's been posting on this thread for a while, I figured I'd put something here.
We spent five days dry camping with next to no sun (and lots of rain!) living off our four T-105 battery bank and four 100 watt solar panels in late April. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although we didn't try watching TV or making microwave popcorn. I think this was probably a worst case kind of exercise, but it worked out rather well. Did all our cooking with propane and used our Big Buddy on one night. Took quick showers and washed our dishes every day. Furnace never kicked in although the thermostat was set for 68. Outside got down to 50 or so. Had a generator in the truck bed for 'just in case' but never fired it up. When we got back home I had to refill one tank, but I don't believe it was totally full when we started.
Just have to be a little careful about what you're doing and life can be good doing this!
