Anyone using battery generator and solar for your camp

I want to be off the grid. I am currently looking at setting up a 16*20 Canvas wall tent for deer camp. Going with probably a 700 watt battery with 200 watt solar panel and a 2K invertor as a backup.
Going to be running
Electric ice chest
32 Inch TV
CPAP
phone charging
LED lights
small fan during early season
Probably going with the BlueTTI EB55. It's a passive power supply so I can charge and use at the same time.

Goal Zero has plenty of options.

Jackery has been making a name for themselves. I have a small system ordered for a wall tent.

I don't think they have a passive system that you can charge and use at the same time. Also looking for a system that uses LiFePO4 batteries. Jackery uses Lithium Ion. LifePO4 batteries can be charged 2500 times.

I'm still roughing it.

Jackery uses pass through charging meaning you can use and charge at the same time. My old cabin was off grid and I used golf cart batteries from Sams.

Just be mindful of the amp draw of your bigger items and adjust your expectations accordingly, or be prepared to open the checkbook. 700W will be fine for what you have listed there, not so much if you ever add things like a mini fridge or an AC unit. Just finished an off-grid RV project and it’s certainly doable, but a lot of work and most people skimp on capacity early then it bites them when they want to expand.

I wouldn't sell yourself short. Just grab this and you'll be set if you'd like to add anything else.

Jupiter - harbor freight
I recently got this one from harbor freight. Works great to power the camper fridge/freezer, tv and some lights during the day while the gas generator is shut off.

Once you get all that set up, you are inevitably going to want to add to it. Like a water heater/pump for a hot shower, as an example. I suggest you oversize so you can add things later.

No doubt, always upsize, buy once, cry once.
