I have a Chateau 23U. I kept one battery under stairs for the 12V circuit. I’ve added a couple hundred watts of solar and can run my converter at any time if my 12V system needs more juice. I’m actually planning to add another AGM battery but haven’t needed it so it’s not a priority. I added two Battle Born 100 Amp Hour batteries to run a Giandel 2200 Watt Pure Sine Inverter. It’s all located under the dinette seating. The BB Batteries are fine inside and they charge quickly with solar. I’ve added access panels, meters, etc., but none of that is important. Everyone has different needs and layouts. I ran and extension cable from my inverter location to my shore power plug cubbyhole/storage. So, when I’m on the road or whenever I need AC Power I plug into my extension cable like I would when hooking up to a pedestal except this is done inside the cubby and I can run my microwave, coffee pot, etc., even at rest areas. I still have a generator but it already has a transfer switch so no worries about needing to add another switch. Yes, I realize I can’t operate my air conditioner and as far as the converter; I turn it on if I need it - from the breaker. The beauty of this setup, for me, is I have use of all outlets and TV without any complicated wiring. Hope that helps. JP
