Let's look at the added weight.
To go solar, the OP needs a minimum of 4 (or 8) GC2 at 63 lbs each; added weight = 250 or 500 lbs.
Or i can keep what i have.
The panels will add 100 lbs.
66, according to solarblvd, but the controller will weigh something, and a new inverter... so 100 sounds about right.
As I understand it, the van is already over weight.
No, but it's close. I can lose 100lbs stuff, but not 500.
A 1000W Honda generator ($800) weights only 29 lbs. It's time to check if the OP can start the gen.
Not if it is a pull cord, but I guess an electric add-on is available? Someone linked to a youtube video, upthread. I cannot get youtube on my current connection; is there a name brand I can google?
