Naw, man. You need a _big_ generator.

- toomuchtodo 13y agoBig is subjective. I have an RV I bought for ~$10K that I'm renovating to live in full time one day, and it has a 50A Onan gas generator, which I wouldn't call big. It can drive both AC units onboard at the same time.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoThat is 6kVA. I'd call it medium sized generator WRT RV's, and suggest you not spend your summers boondocking in the Southwest, or Gulf Coast.

- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoOh god. I did that with mine right after I bought it. It was great, but it cost me (and our companions) so much money. $4k in fuel $2500 in tires. What kind of Bus? Where are you starting out from?

- fnordfnordfnord 13y ago~2k miles, wow. That is a trek. If you hit the Bonneville salt flats at night, you might find fire-dancing on the flats near the rest areas. The rest areas in Nevada have fresh drinking water, so you can save some weight by waiting to fill your water tanks. Shoot me an email electrodynatronic von gmail if you like. I might have a few more tips if you're interested. -Good luck
