Take your time. Look at the TT first then see what size truck you need. Often times you are better off with a 3/4 ton as it let's you pull many different rigs. If you are out shopping and you run across a TT that is a little larger than planned a 3/4 makes it an easy pull.

If you want to run the ac often, you may want to stay in a park. If you want to occasionally run the ac you can often times do it with a quiet 3000 inverter type generator. RVs are primarily designed to move with the seasons. Solar will provide for all your needs except the ac. You can run the heavier loads like the hair dryer, toaster or microwave off the generator or use a large enough inverter. A good large inverter gets pricey and larger ones require more batteries like at least 4 six volts or 6 six volts.

Hi RJXJ,
Funny you mention that, I saw a campground from across the hotel we were staying and the outlets look like 110V....what amperage load I dont know,I didnt want to seem to nosy to nearby campers
At my home I have solar and even a wind generator and realize ac pulls a pretty good load...how many watts do you think an AC in a camper like Im thinking of would pull?
Being into renewable energy and all, I know those domentic refrigerators can pull 12v110v/or even propane, but most camper ac's wont run off propane too?
A generator is no problem to haul around I guess if need be.... something I didnt think of.
As far as inverters go I swear by outback, but a battery bank and enough solar panels and charge controller might be a lot for a AC unit? Here at home I have a backup source of power with 20 or so golf cart batteries grid tied with a 3600 watt 48v outback inverter but no way i could pull the house AC with it for any length of time before 50% discharge....so I guess my question is, how many watts do the AC units pull?

I have been looking at those other TT options folks have been throwing out there too!
