I think one of the hardest decisions is going to be about the residential fridge. Currently we are not paying for electricity for storage. We top off the battery before storing, have a small solar charger, and go camping about once a month to keep it fresh. The night before a trip, stop by and run the fridge on gas to pre-chill. I understand I won't be able to do that with the residential fridge, so that leaves me with buying power or running on Generator (also while dry camping which we do a couple of times a year). Will the Generator automatically start and stop as the batteries need it or will it just run all the time?

Both of the a/c's are ducted together. When we are on 30 amps we run the main a/c during the day and switch to the unit in our bedroom sometimes, just to get it cooler in the master and switch back. The 2nd a/c has the ability to dump cold air directly from the unit into the room.
I have the residential fridge and power at my storage facility (but only use that power to keep batteries charged), but I typically tow the unit to the house a day or two before we leave to load up and fill the fridge. I plug into the house for power.
I don't have the generator, looking back, I wish I had at least purchased the prep package. The way I understand the generator is that you have to turn it on/off when needed. I doesn't just start up automatically.
Enjoy shopping and let us know how everything goes!
