I'm mounting a 2000W Xantrex inverter in my Pleasureway Excel. By far the most practical place to put it is next to my 4 AGM batteries. That's where the transfer switch is and all the other wiring. ...

Hi Sam,

Full time folk need reliable 120 volt power.

The cheapest source is solar/battery bank/inverter, because it is a one time cost.

The next cheapest is a low cost or free campground.

The most expensive is running a generator.

On October 15, 2015 I was using 20 kwh per day running 100% electrically which includes the fridge (5 kwh), as well as space and water heating needs. I might be able to do 12% of that from solar if I had 500 watts of tilting panels.
