Hello,
First off, thanks for your responses to my question about drum brakes when backing, or stopping on a hill.
Being a noob, I have limited understanding of trailer electrical systems, so...
Do all trailers have 12 volt furnaces and lights, but 110 volt A/C and electric outlets?
If you installed an inverter capable of starting and running the A/C, could you then use a smaller generator to keep the battery charged? In other words, let the battery provide the spike current to start and run the A/C. When the A/C was off, the generator would hum away recharging the battery. Would this work technically? Would it cost so much that I'd be crazy to consider it?
Thanks.
