On my to-do list is confirming that the start/accessory battery does not receive power from the high voltage/traction battery. It would be handy if that were the case, but I seriously doubt they are connected. I haven't seen any 5kw pure sine wave generator/inverter combinations that make 58...

In looking further: It appears using propane for the A/C probably is not the way to go. A 5k BTU A/C unit, which would be an adequate size for my needs, takes about 3oo to 450 watts to run and about 1100 to 1300 watts for startup. I like the concept of the PlugOutPower system that was...

Thanks again everyone. Following are my follow-up thoughts. Yep, I was aware there are propane powered refrigerator/freezers. I was not aware of the same for A/C. I absolutely need to check into these options before I determine I must have electrical power beyond 400 watts. There are also...

Follow-up question: Am I correct that when using the truck bed power leads, the ICE will automatically kick on and off as needed to keep the battery charged?

Thanks again everyone for your input. Here are a few thoughts in response to the comments above. I'm looking at a camper less than 2k pounds. Although I haven't pulled the numbers yet, I don't see an a/c unit for such a camper requiring 4kw. However, I don't see solar as being adequate. The...

Thank you everyone for your input. It just seems odd to me that I would need something like solar or an external generator. Perhaps I do not understand how the Maverick system is constructed. I know with the Honda Prius there is a small lead-acid 12 volt accessory battery, but there is also a...

Is it possible to outfit the Maverick so it has a generator function similar to the F150? I could use a 1.5 to 2.4 kilowatt inverter that would automatically kick on the motor as needed to keep the battery charged. I'd be looking to power a small camper with A/C, refrigerator/freezer, and...
