Welcome to the site Tekkie.
I'm sure you're just settling in and learning as we all are. Alternator deletes/disables are known to increase mileage around 10%. That is quite an increase from a single modification. If you size your battery accordingly you should have no problems. Long trips of course require hooking it back up.
I've done an alternator disable mod on my Paseo and have been running it all summer. You are right that in winter it tax the battery more, but I'm quite sure that I have the battery capacity to spare.
