    My poor man's Earth Roamer design.

    I actually was researching them after I made this post. I could put one in the rear corner and run it up the roof. I would just need to extend the chimney a few feet when I wanted to use it, which is no big deal. Instead of 48VDC alternators, look at Brushless DC electric motors and...
