[VAC] Re: generator
Becky,
Honda makes a line of generators that are very quiet, and that's what
you want so as to avoid annoying the neighbors. You'll probably
want/have to carry it in the tow vehicle, not on or in the trailer.
It is not always necessary to have electricity unless you need to run
the A/C. A good battery (or pair of 'em) should easily supply your needs
for at least a couple of days. Replacing some of the most-used lights
with flourescents and adding a couple of solar panels can stretch that
to "forever".
Rather than discuss all of the basics on-list (again), I'll point you
to:

These sites will educate you in the use of 12-volt power and the various
alternatives.
