Interesting discussion. With two wet batteries and a 2,000 watt inverter I suspect I could make a pot of coffee for the thermos and grill a few sandwiches, or possibly fry eggs without starting the generator. With 400 watts of solar on the roof, as long as I did not need the AC, I might mange dry camping with free energy. Or, is 400 watts not enough? And, maybe I would have to swap the wet batteries for lithium. I suspect 100AH lithium would provide 90AH of usable energy and recharge faster that 2 100AH wet batteries, which would only yeild about 80AH of usable energy and be much slower recharging.
