Has anyone considered or is currently running one of those belt-driven 120v generators? Looks like these are common on some modern coaches that are going genset-less... They also seem to be used on emergency equipment, and also to some extent on boats.
Was looking for opinions, and if anyone has first hand experience with how well they work, cost, etc... Not sure I'd want to rip out my Onan and install one of these... But if you had a primarily solar coach, I think this would be a nice to have backup if you ran in to a string of cloudy days, unexpected situations, etc.
This company seems to make a fairly popular unit. Looks like they offer 110 and 220v units in the 2-3k watt range. They also seem to offer a voltage regulator to keep the gen's output constant as engine rpms change:
