Thanks, Steve. I agree this is a head-scratcher in terms of cost vs. benefit. Still, there is plenty of sun out here that isn't in the southern tier, but you have lots of experience and street cred in the solar power in the outback lifestyle and I appreciate your insight.
I have two 2k Hondas. Out in the "dispersed camping" places nobody will care if I run them all the time, but in National Forest or BLM campgrounds they are a real issue when surrounded by tent campers. Running generators a lot also requires you bring along explosive gasoline containers that need frequent filling. Of course, you could say that about my propane tanks. Geez, just reading this paragraph makes me shaky.
Still trying to come to terms with my love of the outdoors and my addiction to modern gadgets. Work in progress.
