Another generator question?
Hello, I posted a question on here a couple of days ago and received some great answers. My question was regarding generators since I dont know anything about them. Anyway I am going to get a job at a mine outside of Elko Nv and it is freezing up there. I am going to drive up from reno and work 4 days per week. I am going to be living in the bed of my truck with a camper cover on the back. I have done my research on generators and I came across solar powered generators. II would build one for 3-500 bones. i would be using it for a lamp, dvd player, tv, a heater once in a while, charging a Cell Phone…things like that. The heater I would only run something so dont worry. Anyway, my question is…has anyone had any experience with these generators? How hard are they to maintain? Do they provide an ample amount of energy for living semi comfortable in the bed of my truck? please help. thanks.
Both respondents are rather correct.
As far as solar goes, get one for like an RV, they are weather tested, stable, and work.
Also might wanna look at Marine Solar Panels, anything marine is gonna cost 75% more.
That is why I did most of my boats with RV stuff.
I do not work for those places, I just googelized them and they look legit.
Try craigslist, it is local and you get tpo actually see what you are buying.
The 3rd link is some specs,,
Going solar is best, saves gas, which will rise, and rise in price regardless of who is president of what
The maintenance is rather easy, get an inverter, two Deep Cycle batteries, a battery switch, voltmeter or fuse panel with a Amp Meter on it, about $45 at a marine store.
Total investment in solar is gonna be between $250 and $2500, depending on how much you will want to use, that is the nice part, solar sources can be added to as needed.
