It is all very possible if you have the time and the cars. Around here
there are very few (if any) diesel rabbit engines (at least that are worth

i saw a fridge and freezer in a jade mountain catatlog that was made for
sailboats that had a powerful cooler, and eutectic plates (essentially walls

Hello,
My father runs a hunting lodge off grid. His eventual solution is to
use is propane hot water tank (currently does), propane fridge, propane
stove, and propane freezers. That way you don't need as large of a
generator.

Hi Harmon and All,
You can use 12vdc for most things and an
inverter for most of the rest with a biofuel ICE gen
as backup and for those really heavy things most of us
will never use.
With the right 12vdc units the difference is
about nil.

One problem that I found years ago when I lived off grid was dealing
with the power needs of a freezer. And refridgerators are about the same. We
had a genset with an automatic switch so that it would start whenever we
turned on a light in the house. We bought the most efficient chest

Hi Ed and All,
Running a house 24/7 from a generator su--s.
I tried for a few days and the generator drove me
crazy.
The best way is to run everything from a
battery system charged from wind, solar, hydro or for
last resort a generator a few hrs a day.
Almost all

Well, yeah, if you're just talking about a little air-cooled genset.
No, you don't want to do that -- not only will it be costly and
