Solar question

mena661,

Wow, to much noise for even my old ears:( That is just the reason you made a convert of me to solar. With the awesome batt bank you have, I would have been so happy in the old days of camping. When camping was really camping. Camping was always silent. Now with solar and a great batt bank, that's what got to my soul. Again, what was the cost of your batt bank? If it was $1000, to me, that's okay. Silence at any cost. Now. we're camping folks.

Pretty much spot on ($1100) for the batt bank and, yes, I got the huge bank so I wouldn't have to hear a generator. Unfortunately (well not really), the new to us rig has a convection oven but I don't have a large enough inverter (yet) to run it from battery so the built-in genny gets used for that. I plan to get a larger inverter and a couple of solar panels eventually so I can go back to complete silence again. My old rig (5th wheel) didn't have a genny nor did I own one. If you want noiseless camping, solar and more batteries are it. BTW, there are MANY people here that disagree with me on Honda's and Yamaha's being noisy. I will say that they're quiet for generators but are still noisy in a quiet campground.
