Seen something similiar for sale at Northern for $500-600. Wonder how durable they are?

My dad tells me stories of my grandpa who made one many years ago. Sounds really similiar to what the OP made although his was mounted high atop his barn.

Seen a few on top of private LOW sleepers.

Maybe this is a dumb questions, but still like to know. Could the 12v battery run the inverter then have that inverter run a battery charger, then have the battery charger charge the battery?

Exactly but the charger on a second battery and the inverter would have to be pretty big (lots of watts) to run a battery charger.

No. This is not possible. The inverter would draw more power then it puts out. You will lose current through resistance and heat. Eventually the battery would go dead.

Could that be done with just one battery to keep it recharging it self and also have it supply power to acccessories?

What's consider lots of watts? 400? 1000?

you would have to look at your charger it will be on it. The battery would not keep up with the inverter and charger would be my guess. Most of the newer inverters have a shutoff and warning when the battery is getting low and it would shut itself down. I am still guessing you would need a big inverter to run a good battery chaget ... probably 1000-2000 watt for sure. I see your idea but I dont think the battery could keep up... now 2 batteries and I know it will work.

Maybe you could use a 20" box fan as a wind generator to run a 12V charger. If its not windy enough to charge using the wind you plug a second box fan into a inverter to supply wind for the first box fan which does the charging.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
