[VAC] Re: 3000 watt generator/choices
I think Jim Clark's post is right on the money. You need a little
flexibility to get the "liveability" you want in your coach.
I have a solar system (2 panels, 2 batteries) with an inverter and
auto-transfer switch to provide limited AC when boondocking. I have the
Hondas for when I need to charge the battery for 12VDC (Eu1000) and the
bigger 3KW for when I need A/C (not often).
I still use propane for the reefer, stove and furnace.
I think I can go just about anywhere and be fairly self-sufficient
without creating a lot of noise.
So far, it works. The key is to be conservative in using the power
sources I have available.
