let's talk generators

Me again,

I mis-spoke...we DON'T run much power. We are conservative with our lights. Our LEDs are the good ones that do handle power fluxes. I rarely use the microwave (I store the toaster and bread in it.) We only use the AC when it's REALLY hot for the dogs. If it's too hot, we don't go. We are not heat lovers.

Of course the fridge is run on propane if elec is not available. A tank usually lasts us a season.

You were holding out on us, I don't recall you mentioning having LEDs. :B The LEDs definitely help.

In your first post you wrote; "I think the biggest draw besides the jacks is the fridge." That led me to understand you were running your fridge on 12-volts. It is great that you responded with clarification.

Maybe I shouldn't have 2 threads going, but I'm trying to keep things from getting blurred. These issues are too complicated (to me) to keep straight. Thanks for all the assistance so far.

Tough call on the two Threads, but I think you did it right. Each has it's own learning curve, especially the Solar stuff. Just accept, we will post in the wrong Thread from time to time.

I can honestly say that without this forum, I wouldn't know where to start.

Although there are other RV Forums, I do think everything considerd RV.NET is the better Forum. Do look at the other Forums on RV.NET. I suggest especially the Tech Issues Forum. It will answer many of the questions on Solar and Generators. It is less TC specific, but has many knowledgeable members posting.

When you post acknowledging input, and provide details, you will discover we will will be more helpful to you, and tend to stay on topic more. Keep asking the questions.
