I'm wondering why there aren't simpler versions of shore power, a la idleaire, at truckstops.......especially the bast***s that gouge you for a night's stay.
Like an RV campground, with just a stubby pole and an outlet. I'm considering going to one this weekend for just that reason.
Why couldn't some ambitious TS owners, such as the ones who live in areas with abundant sun exposure, provide solar-powered electricity, for a fee....say $10 per night? Don't we burn similar dough in fuel if an APU runs all night?
BTW, I really like the battery idea. I'm an alternative energy geek.
Anyone ever drive through Indian Hills in Texas, and see the giant windmills that have electric power lines travelling right to an oil well pump? Should a phot of that NOT be placed in the dictionary next to irony?
