Hi everyone. I'm going off the grid as a travel nurse, and I have just purchased a 12 * 6 toy hauler. It comes with a portable AC, which the guy I'm buying it from says works very well at night but ...

For what it's worth, I'm going to drywall the walls, but not the ceiling. I can then get a nice finish on the walls, and I can fix it easily if I need to. worst case scenario is that I cove it with luan.
I bought a 400 watt solar kit from Renogy and a quality 1000 watt inverter. Now for a bank of batteries and a battery charger. I'm going to buy one of the new fridgidaire 5000 watt ac's with an eer of 12.2, only uses a hair under 500 watts i think. When it's done, I'll have $7000 in my trailer, $2500 of that in the solar/batteries/electronics. The remaining and rather large issue is how much I can quiet the compressor.
I'm not shooting for so quiet you can't hear it running. I'm shooting for simply a very relatively quiet AC and generator. I don't care if people who look closely at it know it's a camper. This is about going anywhere and towing a compact, easy load instead of a traditional 5th wheel type of rv.
I'm simply going to look for inexpensive rv parks on assignments and then be able to boondock in nature on my days off. Should I need to do the Walmart thing while on the road, that's fine as well.
