We have camped several times in dry camps at state/national forests. We had a single Group 24 battery when we got our trailer. It didn't make it to the second night, and we didn't run the furnace, no cpap, nothing but the fridge which was running on propane, and a few of the LED lights.
Since then, I upgraded to a Lithium battery and added a 120watt solar panel as well as a Jackery 500(FYI, this will run the AC in my 174BH) and haven't had any issues running out of power since, but our longest trip was 3 days/2 nights since we upgraded. The only bad thing with this battery is, it was WAY bigger, so I no longer have the second battery box on the tongue to use as storage, I could fit two Group 24 boxes, but this battery takes the bigger box. Looking at what it would take to move the brackets to the top of the tongue so I could add another battery box up there again.
