THOR #6203
I recently completed a three month 5500 mile trip . ( Aug - Oct ). During that trip I primarily stayed in NP, SP, national scenic areas and on BLM lands where there were no hook ups and generator usage is very limited.
I’m willing to pay the price (up to a point) to stay in these areas, but I want to be able to do so in reasonable comfort. On this trip I experienced temps of 103* in an area that only allowed you to run your generator from 8-10 am and 6-8 pm. It was miserable.
I also had times when the temps were below freezing at night with highs in the mid forties during the day. ( Bryce Canyon) The batteries as well as the propane ( 12 gal tank) go quickly in those conditions.
The cost of an inverter is worthwhile to me if it can allow me to be more comfortable.
What is of more concern is if installing this inverter requires additional batteries. Storage space in my Axis is limited, especially in the outside compartments. I’m not sure where I would be able to install more batteries.
I know there has to be a workable solution albeit expensive, but I just don’t know How to go about it.
Thanks to all for your ideas and suggestions.
Please keep adding if you think of anything else.
