We found if we ran our generator for a couple hours before going to bed, we had plenty of battery power to take us through the night (and we have a residential refrig and a separate chest freezer). We then ran the genny for 1-2 hrs in the morning and we showed fully charged. Then we were good for the day. Of course we didn't run the a/c but I did keep the laptops plugged in and we used an occasional light or comparable, and we watched a little tv in the evening. We found it wasn't half as inconvenient as we thought :) For us, the solar initial expense would never pay for itself. We prefer hookups :) For the rare boondocking times, running our genny is much more cost effective.Gail Houlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514395566282599562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-33665439876389873902011-07-07T08:45:44.096-04:002011-07-07T08:45:44.096-04:00We have never really boon docked so we will be int...We have never really boon docked so we will be interested to hear your results.Catherine, Jo Beth and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889362286725037937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-56367484086815320292011-07-07T06:16:01.132-04:002011-07-07T06:16:01.132-04:00We are counting on you two to teach us ALL about b...We are counting on you two to teach us ALL about boondocking. If you figure out the solar panal details, let us know. Perhaps we can have that installed when we buy our motorhome ;o)<br /><br />It is nice to have good friends in the right places ;o))) We are loving your travels!!Nancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.com
