Our first trip in this trailer to the boonies we had to use the truck to get us through a week with sub freezing temps at night. After 2 nights I hooked up the truck and ran it a hour before bed.
The next year we bought a champion 3500/4000 and used it a few hours a day for charging primarily and five gallons of gas easily lasted us for two weeks under such low loads. Fire up the roof top air at 10.00 ft and it will guzzle a gallon a hour.
We don't take the generator for local trips but would for extended travel. Solar is nice but no guaranty.
