    You may think about 2 deep cycle batteries and hook them together in a series, and should get more amp hours out of the set up.

    Screw solar. I bought 2 of these, but rarely carry more than 1 with us.

    A-iPower SUA2300i Ultra-Quiet Inverter Generator with Mobility Kit (CARB Compliant) - Sam's Club (samsclub.com)

    Too much canopy anywhere we camp to get sunlight. I can run this about 30-45 minutes/day and keep everything charged. It will run 8 hours on a tank so I rarely bring along extra gas. I can make it last a week on the gas in the tank and it is rare for us to stay in one place for more than 2-3 days.

    I CAN run just about everything in the trailer except the AC with just one generator. With 2 of them plugged together I can run the AC unit. Probably not AC and microwave at the same time, but individually. Granted I'd go through a lot more fuel, but depending on where I'm camping it might be worth it.

    Having 2 of them running together is really more for running my fall back living space at home in case of extended power outages.
