John Burke thank you so much for the very informative reply. The pole idea is a keeper and I'm going to research getting poles. I have a lot of light aircraft stainless steel cable from a previous tower job so probably will rig something using that and clips or what ever to secure it. I like the idea of the clamps to the ladder but suppose depending on location, I could use cable on 3 legs to the ground. I am planning on using screw in dog leash ground screws as I think they will provide the needed support (more research lol). As for wiring I chose an external controller for several reasons. First 3 wires from the generator is less amperage therefore less copper loss to feed the batteries. Second, heat is a killer and I want the heat at the battery, not in the generator. Third it gives more choices for smart controllers that you chose. The brake works fine as I've tested that. I agree, 20 amps for all night would be wonderful! Even if it's not 400w. And where we stay, there is very rarely a day there isn't 15 to 20 mph winds but the location is superb so we put up with the wind! Again thank you for the info and not bashing me because I have already bought and plan on using it. Can't see how it can be any more noise than generators!
