Looking over the plans I see
-no propane
-no generator
The electrical demands for the listed equipment, running it off grid '80-90%' of the time, are impossible for a solar/battery system on this size trailer.
-80 gallon fresh water and 40 gallon grey tank? on a 15 foot trailer. As someone else said, the water tank logic doesn't add up.
This is a trailer designed for FHU as it stands now, not off grid.
:E Yes, I do have to get the whole electrical system figured out. I don't put as much time into now because I am focusing more on the structure. But it will have deep cycle batteries, propane, a generator and a decent solar system. Other than carrying a case of AA batteries is there any other power options?
Well, I was thinking that an 40 gal tank wouldn't need to hold 80 gal because it could be discharged. What might you suggest on this?
