rv generators Frequently Asked Questions
RV batteries, generators and solar panels?
I have a question that is probably so basic that is why nobody has covered it. Everytime I mention generators being loud and not campground friendly they boast that the new models are quieter...quieter maybe but noise is noise non-the less and it's not a road I'm willing to go down...ever!
That leaves solar and battery banks right? I currently have 2 batteries and starting comparing prices on solar and it's still quite expensive. Up here in the north a decent solar setup will still run you in excess of $800 CDN. A sealed battery for my RV is just about $100 so I'm wondering how much bang for my buck I'll be getting by adding new batteries? How many batteries are overkill...is there such a thing as too many? I understand the virtues of solar but what I don't have is information about battery banks?
You said you are not looking for information about a generator but looks like everyone wants to offer generator info anyway.. Too funny..
What is over kill for a battery bank? The easy answer is anything over what you need is over kill. Get a kil-a-watt meter (40 USD) and find out how many watts you normally use in 24 hours.. If you are using a 12 volt battery bank divide that wattage number by 12 volts. This will give you how many AH's you use. You NEVER EVER want to run a battery bank lower then 50% discharged. So double the above number and you will have your battery bank size in amp hours.
Now that you know how many AH's in batteries you have mutliply that number by .05 and you have the Amps you need in solar modules.
Example.. If you have a 450 AH battery bank (4 Trojan T-105)
450 * .05 = 22.5 amps at 12 volts.
Now amps times volts gives watts so
22.5 * 12 = 270 watts in modules minium.
i use 30 amp service for my travel trailer, what size generator do i need?
i want to buy a generator for my travel trailer but dont know how much wattage i need, it has a new 110 refridgerator and a new ac also 110 and of course lights and 2 tvs with dvd players, i plug into 30 amps at the rv parks and seem ok but i want to buy a generator in case i cant get to an rv park,,all the generators i see say wattage on them, so how big do i go,, thanks everybody
I SHOULD HAVE ADDED THIS,, WHEN I PLUG INTO MY HOUSE,, MY GARAGE REALLY,,, THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH IT,, AND THAT IS A 15 AMP BREAKER, SO COULD I GET AWAY WITH 15 AMPS
30amps @ 120V is 3600 watts. Go for the next size up, about 4000 watts.
Most generators in that size range will supply 120/240V, not just 120V. Look for something either with 120V only or with a voltage selector switch. A 5000 watt generator which supplies 120/240V will be capable of only 2500 watts at each 120V output, less than your 30A requirement.
Alternately if you find someone competant, the generator output windings can be reconfigured in parallel to supply 120V only. Ensure you use the proper type output plug and a properly sized circuit breaker.
If you are confidant that a 15A circuit is adequate for your needs, including the AC unit, a 2kW generator will be enough. 15A @ 120V is 1800 watts.
I have other generator related information on my web pages...
