    Damn. Amazing. Are you in the States? What’s your latitude/geography like? Do you have a water source, as well as electricity?

    • We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)

      We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.

      We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.

        I’m assuming you mean petrol/diesel, but depending on how much wind you get and power you need, you might be about to use wind or some kind of gravity fed.

        • We do have a lot of wind most of the year, my neighbor gave me 2 wind power generators, but I need to get them and install them.

          I was saying that when it’s really rainy the clouds will block the solar, so I might need a gas power generator to keep my batteries going. We have only been here a few months so not really sure what to expect.

          Right now we are very light on power, the most power hungry is our portable iceco fridge that uses about 40w of power on and off. We have mostly rechargeable lights and phones, and my laptop that is USB-C to charge.
