RE: Generators
Here we go again on the generator thing.  I carry a 1000 watt Honda as a
backup to the solar.  I've only needed to use it four or five times in the
four years I've had the electric 'fridge/solar setup, most times the solar
can do the job.  But the Honda has another important application.  It's
great for powering the espresso machine someone I camp with on occasion
brings along.  The Honda has been used more for that than for charging
batteries!
