I didnt go the all electric route because I don,t feel comfortable with hydronic heating(Aquahot,Oasis)service in the areas we travel. So we installed gas hot water, range, furnace and of course run the bbq off the big tank. We have 8 6 volt batteries (Trojan T105) which provide plenty of power to run the satellite,tv, microwave and lights for our dry camping adventures during the cooler months. We attend race events for 3 to 5 days and the gen doesn't get started unless we want to fire up the ac's.
If you go full electric get the manufacturer to guarantee run time because everyone I ask can't tell me how long the batteries are going to last.
BTW looked at a new Kingaire and it had 8 8D size batteries for standby and the salesman still didnt have any idea how long they would last on an average discharge rate.
Good luck
