I have a nice cabin. But it wouldn't be suitable for constant use.

I have a propane cook stove, and propane cabin lights. I have a 12V RV pump that pumps water to the sink. It has a resevoir that we carry water to. The 12V pump runs off of a Marine battery that is charged with a solar charger.

Then we have lots of battery operated things. Radios, etc.

I ghave a generator and plan to put a small AC window unit in.

I was in some "old hippies" house a few years ago. Earth contact. They had a bank of fork lift batteries and a solar panel array. They had a propane refrigerator as well.

It can be done, but it would get old.
