Thank you for all the very helpful input. I'm sold on the need for the dual batteries and solar as well as the dual water heater. I don't remember seeing the dual water heater as an option but will ask. Floating Cloud are you also saying I should get more than the dual 6volt batteries if I want solar? Didn't see that as an option either.

I wonder if we want the 1500W inverter after all. For $480 it will allow me to run the microwave when no hookups, but not very well? Probably a toaster oven would need the inverter as well, but not a coffee maker for us. We make aeropress coffee so no power needed for that. And then when the inverter allows those appliances to run, I'm guessing it draws a lot from the battery. If so we might be better off to learn to live without them when no hookups. Even if we have the 1500w inverter we still can't have AC. Maybe we just plan accordingly.

I'm beginning to learn that trailering is all about conserving - water, energy, space etc. Live smaller and simpler!

Thanks again for the input. It's all much clearer now.
