To a generator, no. But I guess there's nothing wrong with the 'belt and suspenders' approach.

Is science-doubting a new phenomenon, exacerbated by the internet and lighting-speed conspiracy?

Maybe this is easier to read: quote Mr Camper: Many years ago I was heading from Topeka to Florida and looked for a place to tent camp for the night. Just north of Nashville I stopped for fuel and asked if the guy knew someplace I could stop for the night, and not a big campground. He told me about a guy with some acres who would accommodate me. He provided directions and when I met the guy he offered me the use of his field and I was welcome to fish in his well-stocked pond. He wanted two good catfish. I caught four and gave him two and I had a quiet and peaceful night. I made a couple of extra stops in Georgia to see families of USAF buddies and while they offered me a room with a bed, I declined and they suggested a couple of places, one near Macon and the other just before the Florida line, near Valdosta. For the next few years I tent camped that way. Stopping and asking worked for me. A spot for the night was free with no strings. Only one other person asked for a favor. Once I set up I ran into town and picked up some supplies for them and that was it. Best way to see the USA.

Campsite

At least 300 watts to start. Panels are available on line or in solar stores. Avoid the "kits". Roof mounting is best. 2000w inverter for coffee maker, microwave if you have the battery power. At 4 GC batteries work for most people. Lithiums are real nice if you have the bucks.

Consider installing solar/inverter. It beats running a generator for every 120v thing you need, makes your off-grid life easier and your neighbors will appreciate it.

Ok, but where is the DVR? I don't understand "youtube tv comes with.."

What/whose DVR are we talking about?

should be online somewhere

What voltage are you running?

dint= didn't

Isn't this about charging from the engine charger?

Walmart, ATMs. I wouldn't be counting on much interest.

Fix your post first.

Oops. Cataract too.

I don't recall seeing an inverter mounted on a ceiling.

And they accept monster charges.. 34a @ 48v on my 100ah pack. That's a LOT.

Mine never lasted more than 4 years without losing capacity. I never particularly enjoying changing out those big heavy monsters, adding water to them, keeping them charged, equalizing, draining them below 50% or worrying my battery tray would collapse. I'll be brutally honest here. I have more money than I'll ever need. I like new technology, things that make my life easier, and not having to maintain acid batteries is one of them. I also recently bought a 3200w Outback inverter, the best on the market. I like good stuff that lasts a long time. My hobby doesn't require me to worry about money. I like it that way.

I guess those folks in the CG who insist on idling their trucks for 20 minutes before driving have never heard of a block heater.

Not sure I understand that one.

I'm still holding these, CBDS CGC CRON, but not a lot invested these days. I did pretty well over the last 2 years, but lately taking a haircut. When I owned TLRY I was online one day watching it spike to over $200..and then it was halted.. 3 or 4 times. I sold it a day or so later, but, that would have been a nice profit.

I advise you to unplug during lightning storms. That's one cause of surges, and many SP's are one-time use only.

Old technology batteries are heavy. I have the same thing @48v. 135lb. Easily lifted by 2 guys. No corrosion, no watering, not needing full charge, no equalization, no absorb, will outlast me... priceless.

I never used the additive. I did, however, manage to forget the plastic bottle was directly under my truck tire. What a mess. Sprayed that stuff all over the undercarriage and lots on the ground.
