We had a generator in our Class C and it was handy (mostly for keeping the fridge on while driving) and we’ll probably end up getting a portable unit to stick in the truck bed and plug the trailer into.
Everyone advised against getting the on-board propane-powered one, since they suck up a TON of propane, apparently.
My guess is I’ve added maybe 150#?
The two lead-acid batteries weight 52# a piece, and I’m replacing them with two 87# batteries, which have a TON more capacity (64ah vs 800ah of draw). Then I’m adding the converter/chargers, which weigh about 45# a piece. Plus assorted odd and sods.
They are definitely less efficient on propane and the maximum power is also reduced. I don’t want to carry gasoline, so for occasional use, propane was my choice. Running full bore with AC on would probably drain a 20# tank in less than a day.
@Hines The generator added 115. The carrier about 20 and the propane about 50. Our mattress upgrade added 100 and the solar controller about 10. My battery exchange was a wash. So about 300 pounds in added accessories.
Excess train supplys?
Is that like left over bacon?
Wrestled the batteries into place and have them wired into the existing wiring. Once the inverter/chargers are part of the mix the wiring will change.
what is that wheel disk for?
low tec fireplace?
In Canada eh ,they use old washing machine drums for fire pits .
Yea. Most campgrounds around here use one split-rim truck rims for fire pit rings.
Really nice looking camp. I suppose this is the big shake-down cruise for all the new gear? Hope all works wonderfully. Have a blast!
