I installed 2 Trojan 105s for the house bank and a 1 combined start/deep cycle 1000 amp/h for start battery.
With the solar panel, all LED lights and a modern fridge, the above was sufficient for extended cruising without a generator.

Whoa! Greg and Norseman used huge batteries! We had four Group 27 deep cycle batteries. One designated for engine starting; two in parallel for house use; one dedicated to bow thruster. Engine was Cummins 6BTA 250. This was plenty to be on the hook for two days. Biggest draw was the refrigerator. New Isotherm drew 2.5 amps.
Check your engine starting needs and then calculate daily power needs for the house. I like to double that amount.
