Okay. I'm starting to get the picture. Thank you all so much for your instruction. I will scale back on the inverter and buy a 2000 watt generator. I will suck it up and either pull out the passenger captain's chair or squeeze it somewhere else in the coach.
And oh boy, do I hear you that everything gets heavier every year! Getting down on the ground and back up again is like a herculean feat for me. My knees are wasted. I have much to do to get back some of my youth and vigor. Trying to stay on track.
I'm giving up on the idea of running the a/c unless I'm hooked to shore power. On days when I feel I need it, I'll want it on for hours. I hear you about the 3000+ watt generators, I just can't be taking one of those in and out of the vehicle. I guess I can get 2 2000's at some point and buddy them up together. One will have to do for now.
Just want to add that boondocking for 3-5 days and then staying in a campground for around the same number of days will add up financially. It's the daily rates where they get ya. Weekly is bad enough.
Oh yeah. And I do belong to Passport America and Boondocker's Welcome. Lots of the hosts on BW offer utilities. I hope to use those resources when I'm able. Lots of options out there for us vagabonds.
