Now this is good.

Bob, after some solr based thought, the SW Arizona part is the big part we are missing here. Most of my dry camping is Midwest to Upper Midwest. Texas and Arkansas are popular southern venues and almost all of them are heavily wooded racetrack environments. I am wondering if we could get enough SOLAR time to make it worthwhile.

From that perspective, I think a smaller secondary inverter generator may be a good option for us. And I always have plenty of 50:1 premix around to power some of the newer smaller 2 stroke gensets.

What I wouldn’t like, is the part of having to get it out and set it up and tear it down at each stop. We are usually only there for a few days at a time and pretty busy most of that time.

Does anyone have some ideas about how best to accommodate a secondary power source (2-stroke generator) in a quite, convenient, semi-permanent location with a remote electric start?

I am just day dreaming here but it does sound interesting.
