electrical outlets not working on battery power

I have a viking tent trailer. Is this normal for battery power only? Planning on buying solar or generator for dry camping to charge cell phones, laptop, etc. Outlets do work when shoreline is hook...

Hi rocelp,

How big is the battery bank in amp-hours?

Solar is about $3 per watt for a DIY install. The kits are almost always outrageously expensive. If you wish, you can just build and use a portable frame. Personally I don't think that is a good idea.

The Keurig is going to want pure sine wave and at least 1200 watts. Best converters has a 2000 watt inverter for $355.00
