Full time 50A service
Hello All! I am sure this has been covered in part or completely but I have been unable to find what I am looking for. So here it is, I want to set up my bus for 50A shore power, easy enough right.
Here are my questions, what size generator would I need to take the place of the 50A shore power when I can't "plug in"?
And the other is this, how big of a house battery bank and inverters would I need to maintain the "50A service" while driving down the road without running a generator and how big of a second alternator would I need to maintain that size battery bank? There is a place on my engine (3126 Cat) where the A/C compressors would be, can I mount a pair of alternators there to keep the bank of house batteries charged while running.
And finally, is this even a feasible plan? My logic is wire the bus from the breaker box out as if it were plugged into a 50A service then be able to switch sources depending on the situation, shore power, generator, or battery while driving.
