2004 Dutchmen Tab generator?

huffalumpy

Hi, I'm new and own a 2004 Tab. I'm looking for a generator so I can use to power fridge and lights. I don't use the AC whatsoever. Some of the campsites that I stay at do not have electric hookup for me to use for basic energy. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you.

My tab runs on a 12V battery.

If you are only using the 12 VDC systems, and using propane to cool the fridge, you can upgrade to a lithium 12VDC battery, minimum of 100 amp.hrs. and add some portable solar panels to recharge the battery.  If you camp for more than three days at a time, I would get 2 ea 100 amp.hr. lithium batteries (if the 100 amp. battery is not enough), and get two100 watt solar panels to charge them.  This should keep the battery charged enough whilst camping.  I do this with a TaB400, running the fridge off DC as well and have not run out of DC power yet.
cheers

Thank you so much Denny! I will look into the 100amp.hr. lithium batteries and solar panels. I appreciate your input.

@huffalumpy, you are welcome.  There are several discussions here about adding lithium batteries to a TaB320. Many take the opportunity to put the battery isnidemthenTaB under the seat bench, to keep,it out of low winter temps.
