How is this any different? Are they not faced with the same problem?
But still, the problem becomes, just how do I refill all that battery capacity in the middle of the night when the sun doesn't shine and when there is no wind.. The answer is always, you must have some dependable non electric mechanical source (IE ICE gen).
Those RV,rs do not call their system a "generator", did not cost them $3,000+ either. They could call it a "generator" if they wished to do so but they don't.
I use a pair of 6V GC2 batteries plus a 1200W inverter to power my home fridge conversion, but I do not call it a generator.
