[QUOTE="condor22, post: 619811, member: 1932"] Many frozos take 5-7 minutes to cook (each), especially from a smaller m/wave. I use frozos when prospecting around 5 out of 7 days. Hey, I'm lazy, lol. I also have a 3 way fridge and duel 240V/LPG hot water service with a limited amount of gas (2 x 4.5kg in the front boot). So I carry a Honda 2kVA to cook and heat water. Another guide - running my heater at 22C while watching TV and lowering to 13C overnight, plus LED lighting, I typically use 35+AH a day and my solar just about keeps up in winter. I also have 200W of panel and up until a few weeks ago a 130AH AGM. (now replaced with a 100AH LiFePo4 Lithium) The plus of running the genny is that while it runs to cook and then for water heating, the 240VAC charger is also on, to top the battery up. (You can't heat water at the same time as microwave from 2kVA.) I don't heat shower water every day. With the Lithium, I can now run 2-3 days if I want before running a genny to charge (bad weather days re solar) On better days, longer. [/QUOTE]
