LED and dual batteries vs solar
I've done some homework on this topic regarding boondocking / power conservation but want to ask some questions to those who have done this, as I've become a bit confused. Am looking to go with so...

Solar is wonderful IF it works for you. As for the items you mention, we have all of them. We even went out and replaced our old generator with a new one that like the old one, will rarely if ever be needed. Still you have to have it in case.
Because people think in terms of large loads and small solar systems, the concept that they only charge batteries is realistic. That said I can connect a small inverter to my portable solar set up , start a load and disconnect the battery. The load will continue as long as the sun shines. So a solar system is a PV generator That doesn't need batteries but they sure are nice when it gets dark. Same with a gas generator that can run stuff without the battery but if you don't have one outside of generator hour it's lights out.
