9The secret is to take care of whatever battery you have. Then it will pay dividends. It seems only BFL 13, a serious boondocker has a serious grasp of the total concept.
It's the MONEY $$$$$ spent on total kWh hours of accumulation that matters. This must be vectored so as to encompass TOTAL hours of attention directed toward charging and maintenance (including fuel cost and the amount of $$$$$ and time spent to refuel).
My object is to NOT spend a hundred dollars a day on fuel to recreate. If I spend a hundred bucks I want to ring down for room service for my Eggs Benedict and fresh-squeezed orange juice.
If I had to dance the Macarena to have fun, I hitched a feed bag of oats onto the hoss and mule and tossed pack-saddles, and hauled ass. Into the woods, I went. I want to arise to the sound of a Jay, and hollow-sounding woodpecker announcing his turf.
Screw having heaters blow out at 4 AM -- that isn't recreation to me -- it's a pain in the ass.
If you want rolling luxury, artificial environment, and talking heads on the wall with no one paying attention, you need to plan for it and accept the cost consequences. Fantasy just got its ass kicked by reality. One thing that dreamers have a hard-time with = reality.
