Stirul - first off welcome to our 37TB owners. We've had our rig for a little over 3 years, 39k+ miles and 8-9 months per year. Love it.

I am not sure of your requirements but we spend about 12 weeks out of a 3 month stay each winter in the Florida Keys - dry camping. We upgraded our battery bank to 4, 6 volt Trojan 105s. They are great. We easily have enough power to go 12 hours running the refrig, sat TV, CPAP and lighting. You'll need to run your generator to power the microwave and induction cooktop. Your estimate to recharge batteries is about right based on our experience. (Note: one of the biggest detriments to battery banks is maintaining water levels. To make this easier I installed a Pro-Fill Battery System.)

The stock converter/charger for our coach is a WFCO (WF-9855). It is 3 phase and has worked satisfactorily.

If I had it to over again, I would wind with the same configuration I sited above. It has worked well.

Adding a 200 Watt Solar charger like the one from Renogy is the next step to cut the generator running in half.

Just our experience and advise. Good Luck and again Welcome.
