I saw a EP review of a portable propane generator on my FB feed this week which got me thinking about propane as an option for our set-up.
We have a FWC with solar as our primary power source. The camper is set-up for shore-power but we seldom use it because we mostly dispersed camp.
We do "plug-in" when driveway camping at a friends or prepping for a trip. We do NOT have AC. 85L Dometic fridge is our primary power draw.
We discovered on a recent trip to the North Woods of Wisconsin that a couple days without sunshine really made a difference in our battery life (duh).
Being from CO, we are used to abundant sunshine and take it for granted most of the time.
As we are about to head out on the road for 18 months, we are looking for at generator options as a back-up to our solar. We carry quite a bit of propane on our rig for the stove/furnace/heater so a propane generator looks appealing. The lower weight and smaller size would be a plus too.
We have a Honda 2000 that we seldom use due to the heavy weight and the fact that it is difficult to store in our small rig.
So.....hoping to get your thoughts/feedback regarding propane generators, good or bad. Brands that are desirable and ones to avoid.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
