So the crazy plan is this:
Two deep cycle batteries linked in back, with an inverter to plug in hopefully both the block heater and a tank heater.
I'll typically only need it one "heat session" at a time, with the intention of recharging it nightly.
Might hook it up to a timer, or I am planning on turning the system on and hour or so before I leave.
I may utilize a solar panel on top to charge the batteries as well, but night-time is what I am really concerned about. Minnesota winters.
Thoughts, suggestions, facts about how much juice a block heater sucks up?
Won't work? Tell me why so I don't waste my time. I am replacing the rear floor at some point, is there room to build a metal box and drop the batteries down?
Thanks for reading,
Eric
