[A/S] Electric



I've been  considering some kind of electric generator.  I've seen the 
regular gas operated but also the Solar type.
I believe somewhere a year or so ago the flexible solar panels were 
discussed.

Do any of you  have the soft kind that can be hung up or laid against 
something to charge?  The one I saw was $199. and had a Rated  Power of 32  
watts. Was said to be a trickle charger.

Would that keep my battery up- to run my computer and TV if I'm in a sunny 
location such as Arizona?

Until  now I have just plugged into the car  every night  to equalize the 
trailer battery with the  car battery.  I drive  somewhere everyday and 
that recharges the car.  Works pretty good most of the time.

In your opinions would I be better off with solar(any size) or a gas 
powered generator and what size and make?

I'm using with my  16 ft. Bambi.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
