g'day all

picking up my van end of feb ill be towing it with toyota prado with a towing cap of 2500 kilos, was thinking of getting a

Honda 2kw generator for the times that we will not have power. we will not be doing any lengthy

off the grid parking (Elly still likes some creature comforts). at the moment we get a new Honda

for 1699.00

if we go solar, how many panels and batteris would we need ? I would have to install a inverter

would the extra weight even out weigh and benefit that solar may give you.

I'm thinking generator the extra money I would save could go to Al-ko E.S.C.

I guess I know the answer but you guys are out there doing it and I'm just starting.

cheers and thanks for any advise you may be able to share

Alan / Elly ( the boss )

What you wish to power will determine how many batteries & panels would be required.
