Be sure to use a strong surge protector between your generator and all your power loads. Not only is the cost of a excellent surge protector cheap insurance, it's much cheaper than replacing the equipment damaged.... And once on the playa you'll have no recourse. Search Graybar and Grainger for a st...

Specifically, what are the continuous and peak surge requirements of the gear you plan to power?

Have you field tested anything yet?

What brand/type/size of inverter?

Is it a modified sine wave or pure sine wave?

Modified are 20% less efficient than pure sine wave



What is the capacity and peak surge of your inverter?

Amperage draw is theoretical and based on math equations.....if you use small wires, imperfect terminals and a loose connection, the amperage drop will be significant!!!! Choose copper compression terminal lugs (bought at commercial electrical supply house), 2/0 or 3/0 copper cable insulated (Lowes)...

your initial comment suggests that you could benefit from a better understanding of the principles of recharging the battery: Go to battery tender.com and read :Battery Charging Basics. I found this to be very helpful years ago in developing my mindset about working effectively with batteries. The D...

May I suggest an automatic sump pump powered by 12 volt battery. If shower is placed above a wading pool to catch shower greywater, the pump only turns when greywater is present.

I'm building a graywater evaporation system using a Sahara S500; cost of pump is $42 at Manventure Outpost
