LED lights
1. Go on ebay and get 10x 48 LED 3248 in 3000k
2. A 160 Watt portable folding solar panel, aimed 3 or 4x a day at the sun, with a meter to read what you are getting for total amps should help extend your stay.
3. A Honda Eu2000i Generator will run your microwave for cooking. It won't run your A/C
Pair it with a $60 Mega Watt 36 AMP 12V DC power supply (Google it) for 1.5 to 2 hours in the morning to quickly charge up your two GC2 6 volt batteries, if solar is not getting the batteries fully charge daily. The 160 watt panel should put out about 9 amps an hour, for 5 or 6 hours, in winter, more, with longer days, in summer. Aiming it at the sun greatly increases the yield of electricity harvested from the sun, compared to a roof mount panel.
4. teach your kids by showing them how to conserve water while washing hands, taking a shower, flushing, etc.
5. Teach your kids to leave things as they found them, turned off, when not in use.
6. Teach your kids to open and close the refrigerator quickly, not leave it open wondering what they are going to remove from the fridge to eat.
In general teach your kids conservation, and not to be wasteful. Demonstrate by example.
