I'm sure we are not alone in getting more events where our power goes out.
But it seems that it would be a good idea to use a camper trailer that would be set up for solar off grid power to also be used to supply some back up power to some appliances in your home. At least it does to me....
My thinking would require an extension cord from the trailer's 120v system into the home- but other than using the outdoor outlet for a fridge, would it be a good idea to make it more complex? When I finally make the step to go solar on the trailer, it will be pretty darned large, as we have electric only- no gas for anything. Which means the battery pack will be pretty darned large (still measuring use to know how much is needed).
Thoughts?
