RE: Preparing for life on the road as a traveling programmer! Help buy my gas ;)

Yeah looks like I will be using my propane a bit more than I thought. But seems like 60Gallons will last me a bit.

Going to definitely buy some electric fans and whatnot. If it gets extremely hot I will likely not boondock during that time.

Seems like shade parking is the best idea. So if I get a solar panel setup, I might get a few for the roof and a few as a remote array. My brother is certified to sell/install this stuff just have to get him involved.

Sort:  

You can always also get a small 500 watt wind turbine with a 5 meter mast/ cable stays attached in strategic places on the trailer you could have it erected single handedly in less than a few minutes. There are a few of them coming out of China now that produce about a watt per dollar spent(300 watts for 300 Us dollars)

I don't know how wind didn't even cross my mind.

I'm seeing some good prices for larger amounts of energy going that route. Low wind and Ultra low wind setups or even hybrid solar/wind.

You could even get a couple small dc 100 watt permanent magnet inline duct fans mounted on the roof of the camper to charge the system while you drive this way you don't have to rely on your cars alternator to charge the system. They look cool too like jet engines mounted on your roof
