This is my battery bank layout
My generator sits secured in the tailgate corner of my covered and locked truck bed. When we run the generator we can just simply pull it out onto the tail gate and run it.
Been doing this routine for several years now and we are very successful camping off the power grid for 12-14 days at a time with the only requirement being we have to run our generator for a 12 hours run time period about every 14 days or so to obtain a 100% battery bank charge state so that no harm comes to the deep cycle batteries. Since most camp grounds does not allow us to run the generator this low of a period this is usually when we head for the house. Of course none of this camping off the power grid includes the use of air conditioning or high powered microwave operations.
