Going off grid in an RV until you build ? Read on ! I design and build only off grid homes so maybe some of this will help you or others starting to live off grid. I want you to consider first that, making power is way quicker, than the using of power - if you use a generator. You need to consider the fuel, but if it's a propane system tank gas works and so does other gasses such as homemade methane, or "woodgas or coalgas", or perhaps my favorite, producer made and yes very legal, Ethel alcohol, in place of gasoline to be really off the grid. Solar is slow charging and if directly used only there in daylight with out batteries, by comparison, but quiet, but you normally need a lot to run a big RV with AC electric water heaters , electric heaters etc.. Solar hot water is great too, and can be bath and wash water plus heat the house as well, and can come from the water cooled generator as power is made. A on demand water heater will use less hot water, but must be fueled somehow too.
