Hello

Recently just purchased a GN three horse partial LQ trailer.

The LQ portion was a DIY by a previous owner. I'm looking for advise on how

to run the lights and appliances without being hooked to a power source.

The previous owner told me all plugs are 110v. My problem is I know nothing about wiring , I have been reading a lot about inverters and deep cycle batteries but im more confused then ever.

What do I need to look at on my trailer to know what I need to do ?

any advise as all to point me in the right direction would be helpful.

I would like to knot have to buy a generator and I am not sure if I need an inverter.

FYI , there is no water toilet or AC in trailer to worry about.

I would just like to run the lights , microwave, coffee maker and the laptop.

 

thank you in advance.

Danielle

Your choices are buy a generator or install solar panels and an inverter. It will take a big investment in batteries to allow you to run a microwave with solar power. A generator would be my choice. A smaller generator would work if you don't want to run ac.

You have to options. Either buy a generator or install solar panels and an inverter. It would take a major investment in batteries to run a microwave on solar power. My choice would be a generator. A small generator will run your appliances, especially if you don't need to run ac.

If you know nothing about wiring...hire someone to do it...it will be cheaper in the long run
