With a GD 27RLS in our near future we are trying to figure out the best set up for our unit with the best potential for expansion to include two 100 watt portable solar collectors like Tuscon Jim's set-up. We plan to do a lot of 5 day to 1 week camping trips in National Parks along the Blue Ridge Parkway for the first two years and find that many we want to visit do not have electrical sites. Can anyone help shed light on the following questions:
1. Who manufacturer's the AC unit on the GD 27RLS and what are the load specs?
2. We understand it to have two modes that it uses (1) compressor on, and (2) compressor off and functioning like a dehumidifier....question can you select it to run in the second mode and thereby get the benefits of a dehumidifier without the full power drain of the compressor?
3. Will a Honda/Yamaha 2000i run the AC unit with no other power draws on?
4. Is it possible/advisable to prep the 27RLS for use of a Honda/Yamaha 2000i generator to run in the forward compartment with proper ventilation? additional sound proofing?
5. We are figuring we would need at least a 220 amp battery bank but question if that is enough to occasionally run the micro-wave (5-10 min per night) and television (2-3 hrs/night)?
6. Can the Honda inverter be configured to power the on-board 120v appliances off the battery bank when not running or would a separate inverter be needed.?
7. What size multistage battery charger would be recommended or does the Honda 2000i fulfill this purpose by connecting to the DC output?
8. What is the manufacturer and what are the load specs for the LED television?
9. What is the manufacturer and what are the load specs for the microwave?
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
