House batteries - coach573 - 08-30-2026

I have a complete lithium set up ready to instal but I want to take a couple week long trips and dont have time before I want to leave to install it but my lead acid batteries are really in need of changing. What is the minimum number of house batteries I can run on if either the coach will be running, the generator running or I will be plugged in? Was thinking If I could get by on two house batteries I would just install two new lead acid till I get back if it would get me by and not hurt anything? Thoughts? Kent

Our coach has only ever had 2 8D house batteries as that is how it was spec'd originally. So far, we've always been plugged in or on generator.
