My Honda 2000i died, it didn't like the salt environment and even though it never got wet the dampness killed it. I am in agreement that if you run 110 appliances you need a generator, inverters are hard on smaller battery banks.

I run two 4D AGM's as a house bank and have a 100 amp alternator, everything is DC and I can hang on the hook for a few days before the bank is pulled down. It is usually topped back off in under two hours running, and if I got stuck too badly to motor I could always run the engine medium hard to charge the bank.

Of course in Alaska, air conditioning isn't an issue :-)
