I will say to make sure the electronics you buy is as low power as possible. For example: I have a 26" LCD TV that only draws a little over 2A DC. And that's through an inverter. There are ZERO 12V TV's that draw that little and even smaller TV's like Niner's 22 inch draw more (sorry Niner! :B). It all adds up.
Currently, I'm trying to see if it is feasible to build a short trailer that contains:
- 200g fresh water tank
- 130g grey water tank
- 100g black water tank
- 8 batteries
- 9 solar panels
- a residential fridge
- a 55-inch TV
- a generator
- some cabinets
- and a nice sofa in front of the TV, along with two small tables that myself and my wife can do some work on.
