Hi folks
we recently purchased a Connect trailer with a 12v fridge. After looking at the solar options I think we are stuck purchasing an inverter generator for the following reasons:
1) Our 2019 connect c271bhk only has a cargo capacity of 1000Ibs. Aside from cost , batteries are heavy and will add tongue weight.
2) no thrilled about drilling holes though the roof and the forces on the mounting hardware when travelling down the road
3) we camp a lot in national/provincial parks and are often in trees sites. Portable ground setups look like they would be a pain to setup every time and could even be stolen/ damaged
As much as I was excited to try solar I just don’t think it is reliable enough yet.
So I am considering a 100amp hr lithium battery paired with a suitcase inverter generator with command start. I am trying to find a voltage sensor that I can install on the battery and can be programmed to sync with the command start that is typically available with inverter generators.
