I don’t possess the time, skill, patience or finances to attempt to run just one AC from a battery system, so that option is off the table for me. Kudos to you who do.

I do have a 1200 watt inverter which can easily run a small fan all night. When we are traveling in an area with 90+ degree daytime temps, gotta run the AC well into the night, maybe all night.

My initial comments require a repeated recalculation as gas prices and campground costs (and availability) vary by location and timing. A COE site with the Senior Natl Park pass at $11 can be great if its not far off the path. At the cost of gas per mile, you can't go far and be saving $$. Of course, saving money isn't always the goal, but often is a deciding factor.

I met a fellow Thor RV owner who just drove through Illinois. He mentioned the high cost of gas there. Some states are planning a month of gas tax, which we be welcome relief for some folks.

When we have stayed at a store or restaurant overnight, others are running their generator too, so we never had to be concerned about disturbing them with ours.
