Re: [VAL] Re:battery placement
Have you done the numbers on this ? electric everything takes a lot of
juice. You might be better off to get a generator. The Hondas are very
quiet and mine started up like a dream after a winter on no use.
If you can use the generator to cook and bring the fridge down to temp
and heat up the water, you should be ok with 2 batteries. I might double
insulate the fridge. You probably need to think quick cooking too.
Can you use a white gas coleman stove outside ?
Solar will charge you up, but still not enough to go all electric,even
in the desert.
Maybe you can rig a solar hot water heater, they make them in pretty big
sizes for camping.
where are you planning to go and how rustic can you get ?
