My solution to the "I want electricity" in addition to 2 twelve volt group 31 AGM batteries, 100 watt solar panel is my Honda 3000 generator. It does a great job with all but does struggle a little with the 15k a/c. all else works and does us a great job.

Here is my generator rack. Since I built this I got a 220rk and I put a Honda EU3000is on the rear. With the Easystart this generator easily runs the single a/c.

I recently bought a Champion 3500Watt dual fuel inverter gen. Very happy with it so far. It is heavy (about 90#) but I can lift it by myself if careful. I plan to carry it in truck bed behind cab. We are planning an extended trip in late summer to east coast and south and want at least one AC for some dry camping. So far I have only run it on propane. I need to test it running the AC on a hot day but so far so good. You don't get as much out put on propane but cleaner and don't need to worry about gas getting old (can use fuel stabilizer). I was using it the other day running a small pancake type air compressor and my chop saw and it tripped the breaker, so it is limited.

Anyway good luck. If you search generator or something similar there are previous threads.

I have the same Champion generator. We were at the Balloon Festival last year and they required that all generators be at least 24 inches off of the ground. I built a stand with wheels that is the same height as the tailgate of the truck. I store the generator on the stand which makes it easy to move around. It also makes it a one person operation to put it in the bed of the truck. I just leave it there when camping.

Great idea, "necessity is the mother of invention". I can load mine into the truck if I'm carefull by it is a handful.

If you have a pic of that, I’d be greatly appreciative! Sounds like a very cool idea! We are very excited to be heading to ABQBF this year!

I have one 30amp generator in the front compartment of the RV. I can add two 7 gallon propane tanks as well. When dry camping without using the furnace the RV will use very little propane. One 7 gallon tank will last a week. So I can use the two added 7 gallon tanks plus one of the onboard 7 gallon tanks all for the generator. I'm thinking I can get 4 days x 10 hours per day of generator use with that much propane. Thus, the limiting factor will be the water supply and not the generator/propane supply.

I like the logic, but in the real world does this measure up?

Here you go - I built it from material I had laying around. I will tell you that not everyone abides by the "24 inch off the ground requirement"

That is great! Thanks so much for the pic! Ideas are churning!
