Since I went with lithium house batteries, a portable power station, and solar charging, I have been discovering options to do things differently……., for example, when boondocking or dry camping I appreciate being able to reduce dependence on propane for cooking or other things. I no longer need to run the propane generator if I need 120vac for most things.
