Hi,
Why only 1000 watts? Do you intend to do battery charging only?
My thoughts also. I find on my rig 2k is just enough to charge batts and run a little extra. I would have no use for a 1k.
If you look at what rig we have and what rig y'all have, then you will see that all we need is something to run the furnace and/or keep the batteries charged to run the furnace. We can make 'cowboy coffee' or you a coffee press to make coffee in times of power outages.
We do not boondock, therefore only need to keep warm until power returns .. since we have a propane stove, and have batteries for radios - fm/am as well as weather radio, and cell phones.
We will do more research, but thought for what we need that a 1K would be sufficient. But definitely will ask around more in the next few months. But have promised our daughters that we will buy a generator to take with us when we return to Central Oregon again next winter.
