solar panel

I bought a Zamp 120W solution and like the sturdiness of the frame on a windy day. On a good sunny day, I get about 30-40Ahr which is 20 to 25% of my two battery total capacity. One need to keep the panels pointed to the sun for best performance. I also have a plastic covered bike cable and lock to keep them from walking off when I am away from camp.     

That is a great idea about the boat cleats.

Was wondering if you guys think 4 90 lb magnets with hooks would do while parked?
Would be stowed away while towing.

Cordage I have in excess.

The last place we stayed did not allow generators at any time.

If you want to run the air con, you need at least 2400w.  I have a Yamaha 2400iSCH which will run the air but not the air and the microwave at the same time.  Never been an issue.  3000w will run everything at once but a 3000w generator is heavy.  An option is 2 2000w Hondas that can be hooked together.  You can take one if  that's all you need or haul both around if you need to.

Alternatively, if you just want to keep your battery charged a little 1000w gennie will do. 

I think you want quiet even if you don't think you do.  Your neighbors want quiet and a lot of neighboring campers aren't camping to listen to other people's generators!  Yamaha and Honda are the industry leaders for quiet.  There are some other brands that are catching up though.

Z Amp makes the connector that adapts to your trailer, I have one, used it to adapt a service light mounted inside rear storage door, connects to the 12V supplied by Z Amp connector. Connectors are readily available.
