Your system is very similar to mine.....the only comment I could make is adding another battery bank to your system. I added another pair of 6v batteries. My travel trailer had limited space so I bought a Marine Battery Box (holds both batteries) and bolted it down in the bed of my pick up. I picked up 4 Anderson 125 amp welding wire plugs and 10 ft. each of #2 black and red welding cable. I hooked this to a marine battery bank switch. I can use either bank or both and disconnect the system. I also have the hot side fused at the battery.
We have used this system for the last 4 years. We are on the road 4-5 months every summer and boondock extensively. I changed all the interior lights to LED which cut down our amp use. After I installed my system I ran all my appliances that I would run with the system to create a baseline for each one......I kept detailed records for the first year and now I don't worry about it. I just monitor the Trimetric and let the system work. We normally don't get below 70% discharge on the batteries (you probably know not to let them discharge below 50%) We are usually charged back up to 100% daily. After reading numerous sources I moved my charge end point up to 14.8 volts as most charge controllers are set two low to totally charge the batteries. I check my water once a week and rarely have to top it off as the controller does a great job of not boiling the batts.
Enyoy!
