All lighting, electronics, and pumps will be DC. Still working on a plan for refrigeration, but will probably go with a high efficiency DC system for that as well. <br /><br />For now, we plan on using a high output alternator (200-250 amps) on the main engine to charge the house bank. Future plans include wind and solar inputs to the charging system and a small diesel powered DC generator for topping off the batteries without running the main. Which equipment we get first kind of depends on what turns up in our hunt for good used or salvage gear. Most of what we have gotten for equipment so far has been good solid commercial grade stuff that I have been able to fix or refurbish... this is working well for us as I definitely have more time than money right now (although time is in short supply too lately).<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074046315219284398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370225832728915298.post-17619878135635972902011-04-12T22:38:27.926-07:002011-04-12T22:38:27.926-07:00Hi
