I was looking at 2000 watts for emergency, worst case stuff. Last year we
survived for week during the ice storm for a week with my 1800 watt
generator, so I kind of have an idea on what will run. In a longer term
emergency etc. it would be nice to have something. I hope to build this into
my shop which would have a lot lower needs than a house.

So does anyone have some ideas what this would run?

Dan,

Thanks for all the numbers. Do you use any solar for your trailer?

Tim
