Cool. Always amazed how a topic like Solar and Batteries get the crowd going! Well, I can guarantee everyone, the Cat. Heater aint happening. For me a Generator is for emergencies only. Since the Heater is the only real draw, I will figure out a way to make batteries work. I really need to weigh the rig and make sure we aren't getting on the porky side. Seems to me like it's 4400 pounds dry and has a GVWR of 6200 pounds. It has a 66 gallon(yes I did say 66 gallon) and eats up a lot of GVWR, but that is good for week long trips to the desert. I could always just keep a couple of real HOT 6v batteries in the back of the truck if things get a little weak during the week. And, we don't use the TV either. Just the radio.
