Will a 90 AH battery work for running just a laptop, internet, l.e.d. lighting, and charging a phone every other day?
Also, wouldn't you want a sheet of plywood under that tongue & groove to level it out?
Real 1/2 inch or thicker actual hardwood T&G on the diagonal across the valleys, would not need a Subfloor, in my opinion. I have filled the valleys with extra foamboard insulation under my current Snap laminate fake wood flooring, but foolishly I did not plan some of the seams locations as well as I should have. The high traffic area in front of side doors, has fallen with raised seams, and other seams that have gotten wet have swelled and raised, but it is also now 10 years old.
90 AH of high$$ AGM works for me as I have 200 watts of solar, 100 amps of adjustable voltage alternator available, and 40 amps of plug in adjustable voltage 120Vac charger. This Northstar AGM has no problems handling huge recharging currents, and is better off for them.
i use about 45AH each night with a maximum of 65AH used and lately a minimum of 30AH. With little bad weather buffer, other than to not use the laptop and drive more, or plug in, if possible.
But in winter I need to plug in fairly often as the day is not long enough, nor do I drive enough.
I do not recommend others go with as little capacity as I do, my intent was to show it is possible, or perhaps to show that lots of capacity does not always yield the best cycles per dollar equation, especially when charging sources are not up to snuff.
Money might be better spent on more or better charging sources, rather than more battery capacity, but obviously this will vary depending on user, their system, and their habits.
My buffer is my ability to plug in, especially in winter, but if I drove more in the morning, and used less laptop at night, I could swing winter without much issue, at 33'N without pluggin in.
