Hey Redback.
Not quite sure of your logic, when it comes to being lazy.
In order to use a gen set, you need to unpack it from your kit, pick it up, walk it 25/30 mtrs, try to sound proof it, fuel it, pull cord to start it, then plug all necessary kit into it, then when you finished with it, do the reverse to pack it away.
With your set up all you have to do is turn a key.
Having said that perhaps what I am doing is wrong, advice from those who know would be appreciated.
My set up is 2 n70zz batteries direct wired to each other by thick battery cable, Neg to Neg Pos to Pos except the Pos on the second battery has the wind up terminal.
Then I have 30 amp fused 6mm cable to a 7 pin plug to the rear of the car, then same 6mm cable to deep cycle battery in my trailer, charges as I go.
Deep cycle and 2nd battery run a Engel and some lights and a 300 watt inverter for camera batteries etc.
It just seems like a simple way to do this, Now I hear you say every time you stop, you have to undo the bonnet to undo the terminal, well yes that's right, but the last thing I do in the morning before I go, is close the terminal and check the oil, the bonnet is already up.
I've been doing this for 6 years is this wrong.
Cheers Steve.
