I'm currently researching to put on my Motorhome
Further I'm interested in putting Solar on my house.
Now on average I use the RV 60-90 days out of the year and when I'm not at home - I don't need lots of power.
So would be a waste to have a nice system on the RV and only use it that little. Further the RV needs a substantial battery bank to run the A/C.
Why not combine everything?
Grid, Grid, Generator-> RV (All in one system(s) + batteries) - > house
Having a large transfer switch, the house runs on grid when I'm not there - and on the RV system when I'm there.
Could also add some solar panels on the roof where the RV is parked - with some quick disconnect to increase the available solar power.
Would also justify going crazy and all overboard with the RV system since it would have a return on investment - instead of only being a toy.
