I had a trucking company did dispatching, logistics all myself with wife helping owned 2 trucks and had drivers so know first hand what you have gone thru, not easy but I am into something different know mobile advertising. Have an econoline E150 with a professional audio eqptm and 3 50'' plasma so looking at your video to get ideal on how to keep it powered.. Thanks and good luck in trucking.
beats what i had. i just hard-wired my inverter to the batteries by running a line through a hole under the lower bunk. i forget if i even had a fuse he he.
So what type of generator do you have Warren? I know what you're saying about peace and quiet with battery + inverter. Do you guys run 240V or 120V mains power in U.S.? And what about air-con while you are stationary, does the APU run that ? We run an "Icepak" air-con for when we're stopped, 7 HP Kubota unit which is pretty noisy but you can be under a blanket in 120 deg. heat, also run a 240V inverter, about 5 KW of usable electric power. Great set-up you got there...neat job.
We use 110v mostly. I have a Honda Gen. Super quite. But it runs on gas so I'm always on the hunt for fuel. I will be adding a Diesel genset and a roof top AC unit. There is no way around a generator, but the less you can use it, the better...
REALLY? My wife and I want to do that. I told her that the truck system was practice. It's more or less a mini system to what I will do later. I still plan to incorporate a solar panel and I would like to toy with making my own wind gen for the truck ( for when I'm sitting of course) Just for fun...
That would be cool... :) They make a marine model of wind generator which is supposed to be really good. I have the standard version. The marine model is white and the standard version is gray. If you need any tips on solar etc. let me know?
I get the feeling your rig hasn't seen a non-driver truck technician since last one or before that because you do all your own work as combo owner operator wrench chef.
Just be safe! That a lot of zappy! Cheers :)

Great stuff bro!
I have lived off grid for the past 12 years and I just gotta say it's the only way to go :)
Solar, wind, batteries, and catchment water :)
