I full time in AZ and southern NV in a 24 foot toyhauler and my power eating equipment consists of
1) A 7 cubic foot Norcold propane driven refrigerator freezer combo unit.
2) A propane furnace with blower fan.
3) A propane driven hot water heater.
4) All LED interior lights.
5) Typical 12 volt water pump.
6) Small 12 volt flat screen 19 inch TV that I watch for 3 hours every night.
7) And I charge 3 cellphones and some other rechargeable batteries every night.
I'm not a big power user and right now I get along on Two 6 volt batteries and one 100 watt solar panel as long as I don't run my furnace at night.
What I want to do now is beable to run my 1000 watt instant pot pressure cooker for 30 minutes every other day and my 900 watt blender for 5 minutes a day. Plus I would like to beable to run my furnace at night which has a blower fan.
Without going into all kinds of figure figure on all the exact watts and amps I'm drawing and all that stuff, I would just like to know if a 1000 watt solar system would most likely cover my needs and if so should I go with 12 , 24, or a 48 volt system plus what volt lead acid batteries and how many should I have? Would it work on two batteries or would I need more? Thanks
 
0.8-1.2Kw seems to be where many RV'rs arrive @ generally. I'm @ 0.4K intending to expand to 0.8-1K on a 34' 5th.
