We have 5 tvs, 3 dish receivers, residential fridge, microwave/convection, 8-10 internet devices/computers, 110v supplemental fans for each area, etc. Sometimes the AGS will kick the generator on every hour, and run for 30 mins to recharge the batteries for the inverter, or sometimes less often, especially overnight when less items are being used.
The AGS is great for drycamping in parking lots, or when away from rv parks and campgrounds, or even at state and national parks when no electricity is supplied.
