Now this is strictly when I am boondocking. Real camping. Cooking over an open fire. Hiking in the national forest. Fly fishing. Exploring those national forest roads in the rockies.
I am a pretty much a full timer. I am a construction superintendent and set up wherever the job is. But periodically I take months off and head to the rockies. I am getting closer to retirement and planning to spend my summers boondocking in the rockies from New Mexico to Montana.
Anyway back to the subject. Inverters? I am sitting here looking around at all the devices that run on 110 volts. TV? what a waste of time when you are in a beautiful spot. Microwave? For me food prep is entertainment. So what If it a takes a little longer. Coffee pot? I use a kettle and pour over technique. I have a campfire cowboy coffee pot for the hardcore. AC? Just go a little further up the mountain.
What am I missing? What do I really need 110 volt power for?
Now if needed I always have my trusty Honda 2200i. That is what I have used for years to keep my batteries charged. $5000 is a lot to invest in a solar power system. But I believe for convenience it will be worth it.
