[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 502778, member: 19679"] Hi, Been looking at a fair few campsites recently in the dales and lakes, I've noticed a lot of sites don't have hook ups to keep the battery charged hence my question. To keep the battery charged while running the fridge/radio/lights/charging phones etc. I've got a 20a smart charger so it can supply enough juice but I need something to supply that. So I have been thinking solar panels straight to 12v, but I'm going to need 200w at a guess to be almost self sufficient which is about £220. The other option at the moment is a 240v 4 stroke petrol generator with a 2500watts or similar of power, which can be bought for around £150. Will most campsites allow you to have a generator running all night/day though? Even though there not that loud. Or has anyone got any better ideas? I've got a 110ah battery by the way, biggest drain is the fridge at around 5 amp. Sent from my 02_jbla668 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
