We bought a Duro Star portable gasoline generator with 4000 max. Cheap on Amazon back in 22. Like $400 or so. Should have bought it on wheels though. But hubby hooks up refrigerator, FAU or AC, TV, All kitchen stuff like coffee maker and toaster, microwave and a light etc. Not too loud and on a gallon of gas. Best thing since sliced bread! HA

A couple weeks ago i bought one of those supposedly "banned in californy" gas generators right at the bottom of the hill. It was spendier than i liked, but i got a good modern machine that plays nice with today's electronics, has the oomph to run the fridge, and runs for twelve hours on a gallon
of gas. A solar array can be next on the project list...

I was looking at something like Patriot Solar Generator - [Click Here]
yes it includes solar panels and back up battery

I am assuming you meant solar panels and battery sstorage, as there is no such thing as a battery "generator". That is an outright deliberate misleading name many battery storage manufacturers have started calling battery storage systems, especially after california banned actual real electricity "generators" that produce electrical power through use of petro fuels.

solar panels and batteries. we have done this on several of our suburbans. We go with 6 volt deep cycle batteries, as we don't want to have the risk of spontaneous fire with lithium batteries Our Expedition Portal friends lost their new camping van to one of their lithium batteries spontaneously combusting. If you DO use lithium batteries for a home system,you need to place those batteries in a fireproof concrete bunker away from your home.
