If you have ceased dry camping you probably don't need as many house batteries as you currently have. My 77 coach had just one 8D house battery and we never came close to running it out since we too didn't dry camp. Calculate the needed battery reserve based upon how you intend to use the coach. If you find you miscalculated you can always start the gen and then add additional batteries when convenient. Just because you used to use more batteries doesn't mean you need to lug a bunch around you now don't need. And just because someone previously thought they needed this much battery doesn't mean you need to continue to buy and maintain that many. You choice is: how much will I actually use?
