That's great idea. If you're camping in the car or with the car, getting all those lights on if someone is creeping around is a comforting thought.

This should not be a problem as the Scout already has 'Camp Mode' to supply power to your camp or home, the Terra has a 220 service plug, only 110 has been mentioned for the Traveler and that would be 15 amp more than likely. I have a 220 > 110 30 amp adapter already so they are available. As most AC units pull 15-20 amps even with a soft start kit installed I don't see the advantage of using the Scout as a high load power source for any length of time without the Harvester kicking in using fuel, I could just start the RV 4KW Inverter/generator to run the AC @ 1/2 gallon per hour.

I currently use a power Boost f150 for my Rv and you would be surprised at how little the gas engine runs when powering the 30 ft camper

240v has been said to be on the Traveler by Jamie, Scout Designers and Engineers are working on its location.
And both Models are Equipped with 120v Outlets.

I had not seen that, good to know, but my point still stands, if I need to power my AC off grid my built in inverter/generator (read quiet) with it being supplied by an 80 gallon fuel tank will be more practical than running the Harvester with it's 5/10 gallons, leaving me short on fuel to recharge.

Agreed, but are you running the AC unit?

And better/cheaper to use up the lifespan of that genset rather than the Harvester.
That said, a 4kw genset will run a lot more (even all the time if you don't have a house battery large enough to run appliances) than the larger Harvester paired with the Scout's battery pack.

I have 400AH of Lithium batteries along with 800 watts of solar on the RV roof. :)
