    Default Off grid power options for RV

    so ive been thinking of moving my RV to some land ive got on the other side of woodland park..... id like to have something put out there on my property that is a turnkey (or really easy to put together list of things to buy) that will allow me to plug my 50a RV plug right into it. It wont be routing back to any power plant or anything like that, also this will eventually be used to power the cabin that i want to build up there. Hopefully that makes sense...

    I may be way out in left field here, but why not use a welder, like a Miller Bobcat. Mine runs about 10 hrs on 7 gallons of gas, I run the house on it durring our frequent power outages. Plus, it's a welder!

    Do you have a stream strong enough to power a water wheel?

    I've got enough solar cells on the roof on my Holiday Rambler to run the DC things like lights, refer, vent fans but if I want to fire up the microwave, air conditioner or the satelite TV I plug in my Honda 3KW generator. I've heard some of the little wind generators are in the $5-10K range and are about 5KW but don't quote me on that.
