Toyhauler Power System Build
I’m starting a thread here about the power system I’m installing in the trailer I’m building. Most of it will be a copy and paste from another thread I have going over at SBR. Here’s the opening po...

Lookin good!
Wish I went for the MS-2800 instead of the MS-2010. The selection of compressors has been an issue with my inverter size. I have considered a 12V on board air system as I really only air up tires and use an air blower. My electric tools are cordless.
I don't know exactly what you are planning for Ah use day and night...... In my case 1110W PV and 750Ah battery bank has been a perfect combination for spring/summer/fall seasons with 0 generator run. Winter camping in the trees still needs some generator run time as I have yet to swap to LED interior lights.
Your planned 1160AH with only 800W PV, depending on your use, will either not even exercise your battery bank under light use or never be able to fully recharge it with heavier use....well maybe if you live on South America it would work.
Maybe a little less battery and a 1000w Honda inverter gen would be better and lighter? OR to skip the generator, install more PV. I should have skipped adding that last 250Ah battery, installed LED's, and got small generator, because no matter what...I still need a generator for longer winter trips.
Keep up the good work!
