Thoughts on additional regarging systems...
It is after my 1st 4 day trpi with my Grandby running on all DC power. I had thought that my addition of a battery isolator and wiring the camper battery to the vehicle charging system. Alas one cannot see the all pitfalls.
The Alternator goes out on the truck on the way to Baker. Truck has run from Menifee to Barstow at night on only the vehicle battery - or so I thought.... Next morning, the camper battery is apparently dead as a doornail - but starting to recharge - unfortunately the engle needed to run on the system.... Solor barely kept up but with the demand during the day, but after the night... I was back to where I started.
So what are my options?
Run Shore Power - although I don't know how involved or costly this will be. I think I'd need a converter of some kind + an additional penetration through the exterior for a hookup point.
Carry a portable generator.
Replace the Engle with a 3way??
Hmmmm......
