You can dry camp and have fun, but you have to change how you do things. The furnace fan uses a lot of battery. If you are running the furnace, you will most likely need to charge every day either via solar or a small generator. If you plan to dry camp often, you should also get two good deep cycle batteries ( not what came with the TT). As you use hot water, it is continually replaced in the WH by cold water which needs to be heated. If you are going to shower, you need to take Navy showers. There is an on off valve on most shower heads. Get wet and shut off water while you soap up. Then rinse off. You can not enjoy a long hot shower as you do at home. If your unit does not have LED's in the interior lights, I would look at replacing them. Incandescent bulbs use a lot of power. Your water pump will run for a while when you first turn it on as it fills the 6 gal WH. Then it should shut of. To wash dishes, use a small amount of Hot water in a wash tub to wash. Then use another tub of water to rinse. If you have a sink sprayer, do not use it when dry camping.
