Thanks to all for the advice. Solar sounds fascinating and a variety of generators would seem to work as well.
As a rookie TM user I am, however, a bit confused over the repeated reference by generator users to charging the batteries. I have the impression that what you're decribing is a mode of operation in which you run the batteries down in the evenings by using the lights, fans, etc. on battery power, and then recharge the now-low battery(s) the next day with the generator.
I imagine that would work, but why not run the generator during the evenings when you're using the lights, fans, etc. so as NOT to draw down the battteries. In other words, when the electrical demand is high, run the generator. When the eletrical demand is low, use the batteries. That seems to be how most motorhomes with built-in generators work. Would the TM be any different? What am I missing here?
