I went and ordered some solar.
Been looking and asking questions for a couple week about solar, didn't want to spend the money right now but I also don't want to run out of juice while hunting for 2 weeks so I ordered this kit, Win...

I should have said seasonal travels as we are trying to stay were it is as warm as possible.
A seasonal site is a different creature. A lot easier to have a solar there than when you're constantly moving around. Doesn't have to be roof-mounted. 4 or 5 100W panels sitting on the ground, along the South side of trailer, propped with 1"x1" sticks or metal angles. At 40-45 degrees, for FL in winter. Once or twice a day you turn them towards the sun if you feel like. When you move, you throw them into storage closet.

Now I have a quiet gen and a 15.3 v battery charger and have done full charges in 4 hours.
2 things:
1) There is no guarantee that it's "full" after 4 hours, even if you think it's full or OEM green light on the wall says so.
2) There is no such thing as a "quiet generator", though this belief depends on whether you own one or not. 45 DB is enough to wake a sleeping person, and the quietest generators that I heard of, still roar at +60 DB within 10ft. If this is "quiet", then this word needs to be re-defined. Manufacturers call it quiet, alright.
