Your house batteries provide all the 12VDC that the coach uses while boondocking. 12VDC is used for more than you listed in Post #8. Here are additional 12VDC uses:

Water Pump
Heater (blower and ignition system)
Refrigerator sensors and ignition system when using gas
All your CO, CO2, and Smoke detectors
Radios
Awning motor and LED lights (if equipped)
Ceiling Vent fans
Sensors and ignition system for you tankless water heater

So when you are boondocking there is NO 115 VAC current in the coach unless you are running the generator or have an inverter connected to the house batteries. And if you have an inverter it will probably be providing AC current to a limited number of AC plugs.

AC current is used to run the A/C, refrigerator when on electric, all the AC plugs in the coach, microwave. If you used an inverter to run your Air Conditioning, Refrigerator, and all the TVs, your house batteries would run flat pretty quickly.
