Whelp, I think we've finally decided to hold off on getting a generator to supplement our solar and just see how things go over the next couple months. If we can survive March and April in the Pacific Northwest without one, the long daylight hours of the Alaskan summer should be no problem. I think that if we start out with proactive use of our portable panel to keep ourselves topped off when the sun's out, power saving ideas like this swing out hinge for our Olympian Wave 3 catalytic heater plumbed into the stove line and a willingness to draw the Trojan T-145's down below 50%, we'll know a lot better by the end of April if a generator's something we really want to carry around. #airstream #liveriveted #tinyhouse #solar #offthegrid - posted by advodna_dave on February 18, 2015 at 05:56PM
