Ah, I actually thought you might have gotten smart and put some solar panels up added a few batteries and use the genset to just equalize the batteries. Plenty of real estate on the roof for at least 4kw.
ive got 3 315 watt panels up there and 500ah agms for the house batteries need more just waitin for some to fall in my lap !

You must have missed the part where he said it was actually working and had provided power.
So no, it's clearly not solar.

Yeah I missed it, I was thinking he had the inverter, or USP finally going. Some have it where they get grid power and when it goes down the solar kicks on.You must have missed the part where he said it was actually working and had provided power.
So no, it's clearly not solar.
12 v So the truck has 8k gen / solar / 2800 w inverter/charger /shore power / truck So with truck running can charge house batteries to run/makr elct while going down the road or idleing ! solar 12v charging house and truck batteries ! generator to do all those things and shore power will do all those things so my thought if any 1 thing go down u have 3 more to cover you so redundancy is the name of the game !

If I did one I would lift the roof. Mine was a beverage truck I cut half of it down and welded a pedestal on the back to hold the camper fabricated the doors and all. Had 4k worth of panels, 6kW inverter, 12kW dual fuel genset, 880Ah worth of batteries (8 GC’s) @24VDC, 300 gallons of diesel onboard, 200 gallons of water and 15 gallons of bourbon on tap
Yeah I towed my car too.Going to make my 5 ton outfitted to do this in the future.
