You're also gonna want a decent genset for offline power.
A nice quiet RV gen like a 4000 watt Onan ought to do.

Also just remember, anytime the letters RV are involved, the price at least doubles.

RV , Boat , ...

Im just trying to see what fits, how much it costs, ....

For the Generator I was thinking the HF 8750 Watt 420cc.
Milled Head 0.100" LOL
Alcohol Carb to run on my breath.
High flow exhaust so it is loud as possible.
Geared 6 to 1 to drive the trailer too. LOOK OUT 2017 contest participants!

That Onan is too much for my first price estimate.



13HP 7000 W Continuous Generator
$600
200lbs
24 x 24 x 24 ish. Everything is 24 in here!
http://www.harborfreight.com/8750-peak7000-running-watts-13-hp-420cc-generator-epa-iii-63085.html

$16,635
If only I could find a key item for $31?????

I'll come back to the rest of the electric later. I wasn't ready.

Good.
Don't ask me. I have no ideas when it comes to RV's and off grid stuff. :p

I wanted to make everybody involved. I'll have questions for everybody, like where can steal an RV breaker box????

Post locations. Locations. Locations. Locations. LOL

Here's a question....

If a bear and a rabbit are taking a sheet in the woods and the bear turns to the rabbit and asks, " Hey rabbit, do you have problems with sheet sticking to your fur?" and the the rabbit responds "No",......

Is it ok for the bear to wipe his azz with the rabbit?

This happens much more often than you would think.
But out here, it happens more often with coyotes than bears.

I just recently bought our first rv. I had a lot to learn real quick. I can try to answer questions if I can.

That's why I mentioned the old rv. There's the electrical converter box and the switching systems that run the electrical/propane and 12v/120v.

There's gonna be a bunch of stuff your gonna miss.

I see them all the time around here. For sale need to be drug away 500 bux. But then your left with a carcass to dispose of....

Converters, Inverters, Propane, AC, DC, 30 AMP Plug in, Regular Electric cord 15 amp plug in, Generators, Batteries, Solar Panels, Charge Controllers,.....

I need a "BOX" or an electrical engineering degree. :surrender:
I just don't yet understand how it all works together in an RV.

This is why I was saving this for last.

You've sure done your homework, get after it......

It took me 80 pages to build a Predator.
I was told to work on being more concise so.... How about a house in 3 pages with comments. LOL

Seriously. I've been at this since 9pm. I have to sleep and be up for work in 5 hrs now.

This is why I want this. No more working like a slave to pay for a lifestyle I can't afford.

No more dependency on banks, utility companies, and the government.

Now If congress could pass laws to ease regulations to give me more Credit Card's, I could max them out to build this, then bug my friends and family to let me hook up to their utility hook ups.:censored:
