We spend a lot of time off the grid, I would estimate approximately 50%, using a generator. Solar may be in our future but I can't afford it at this time.
Some of you seem to be of the opinion that the WFCO is of poor quality. Could anyone please be more specific? Since the output in three modes is the same for the WFCO and PD, and since the PD doesn't actually do an equalizer charge that meets Trojan's recommendations, I would prefer to keep the WFCO and buy a charger to do equalizer charging as needed unless the WFCO is clearly and significantly inferior. Cost is a major factor in this decision. Of course, if the WFCO really is a POS that overrides every other consideration.
