There’s a lot of good info and suggestions in here (::proceeds to Google “‘ICE’ generator”::). Thank you for your continued engagement in this thread! Again, without going too deep into my long term plans (primarily because they’re only plans for now and are subject to change), the initial...

So, gentlemen, it may or it may not technically be a generator. Cool. Does that in any way affect my plans to use it as described?

I'm glad you're finding some value/interest in the thread! I'm doing my best to maintain respectful dialogue and to express my appreciation for folks' input. The challenge, however, is the potential breadth of all things that can be discussed when it comes to trailer conversions and RVs. I...

Hope you enjoyed your holiday as much as I did! I'm excited to re-engage in these convos! Thanks for following up again! The F150 Powerboost hybrid has an on-board generator that is built into the bed of the truck. I don't know if it's technically separate from the truck's engine, but I do know...

Thank you for sharing your experience and insights! I've really only spent time on the Kenai Peninsula during my four visits. The only exception is the day I spent in the Mat-Su Valley area this past July. And, even though I've visited the same areas each visit (Anchorage, Kenai, Seward, Cooper...

Thanks a lot for your input! When I visited AK this past July, I spent a day driving through ER, Wasilla and Palmer, and I would agree with everything you mentioned. I also sat with a realtor who described the potential zoning issues in the valley. She described the zoning issues as being a...

I’ll put a link to the product’s webpage below. I’m not affiliated with them or anything, it’s just what I have at the moment. It’s got just over 2000kW of storage and has a max output (peak) of 4400W. I’ve gone camping with this thing and brought it on 2-day, overnight fishing trips, and have...

Shore power or on-board truck generator are outside and the Jackery will be inside. Respectfully, I feel like this is ultimately a matter of preference, and I prefer to do it the way I’ve described above. If there is an electrical hazard or safety issue resulting from how I plan to do it, I’d...

Appropriate name, sir! Wasilla is at the top of the three areas I’m considering settling in! Wasilla, Eagle River or Palmer.

Appreciate your reply! I understand what you mean about not needing a switch between shore power and generator because the 15ft cord can only be connected to one at a time anyway. That makes sense when you have two, mutually exclusive sources of power. I may not have been clear in my...

Thanks, Charles! A lot of great info in your post, and I’ll follow up on your recommended resources when I’m ready. I wonder if I’ve been unclear in what I’ve shared so far because folks keep encouraging me to get a 12v battery (batteries). I have a 2000kW portable generator/battery already...

Drawing schematics/wiring diagrams/elevations is exactly what led to my joining this forum to seek guidance ;) It's far from finished, but I got to the point in my electrical distribution elevation where I realized I didn't know how to bridge the two buses, and thought it best to do some...

I appreciate the response, and suggest you consider whether you have an adequate understanding of the OP's (my) goals and objectives before suggesting what I am and am not familiar with. Do you know that I don't already have a battery? Do you know how much contiguous amount of time I intend to...

Thanks for the clarity! Makes sense that the panel at the campground site, or the on-board generator in the F150 truck bed, would be the "main panel." The Jackery will only be connected to the switch when I want to use it as the power source, and that will exclusively be when my shore power is...

Couple of things: 1 - thank you for the thorough response and the time you took to write it! 2 - hoping you can help clarify your comment regarding what constitutes a "shore power source panel," a subpanel and NEC compliance. I'm considering using this WFCO, 30A Distribution Center after the...
