Another vote for a temporary electric drop.
- Most retail generators are not rated for full time continuous use to start with. Plus they typically call for oil changes every 50-100hrs, which means you will have to do 2-4 oil changes per week and constantly be keeping it fueled up (at significant cost).
- A solar system that can run all the stuff you are talking about will be very large and very expensive (think 5 figures). It will also need a battery backup system capable of carrying you through the night.
PS: check with local zoning laws to make sure you can "live" in your RV while building. Many areas do not approve.
