OWJones 1,981 Posted September 17, 2014 I want to buy the solar-power 12v battery-charging station at Harbor Freight ($200)http://www.harborfreight.com/45-watt-solar-panel-kit-68751-8527.html I have that kit and use it frequently at outdoor shows. It provides adequate power to run my laptop, cutter, desktop inkjet printer and charges my cell phone, although I haven't tried printing and cutting at the same time, but neither device draws much current while just sitting. Just make sure you get a high amperage marine battery, they handle deep discharging better than standard automotive batteries. You can chain multiple batteries together in parallel and increase your power bank, but I haven't needed to do so yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdrgrafix2 30 Posted September 17, 2014 I have my trailer with its own electrical panel and it has a gfi built right into the panel so I can either plug into a non gfi outlet on site or I can get hardwired if there is a gfi outlet. Its nice cause it protects the whole trailer in one shot. One circuit is the lights and the other is the cutter and sublimation equipment. I also built my trailer from scratch so I did not have to worry about gutting it. The whole wall on the one side opens up to be an 18 foot long and seven foot wide awning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradsc1954 7 Posted September 18, 2014 It is nice having the Onan. But they suck up gas like a politician sucks up money. They use about a gallon an hour. I would suggest eventually getting a 3000 watt Honda generator. Nice and quiet and will run everything you need including the AC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
