If I'm living in my car down south and I need constant power for a fan, fridge, tv, recharging things, etc... what do I need and how much does it cost? Do those solar power panels work? Can you place them on the roof lying under the blazing sun? And then I can plug my applicances in? How much do I need to spend on those? Or will it not work? I don't know. Help me out. No smart alic comments, only answers. Thanx.

to power those kind of appliences that draw that kind of power you need a kickass power inverter, i would say 4000watts or more and they are not cheap and you will need alot af battery power to keep them going
you can also use a gas generator but they are noisy
you can go to an rv dealer and talk to them as thats what they do

First your appliances need to be 12 volt, or you have to have a 12v to 120v converter which will drain you battery, quickly. You need at least two batteries wired parallel. Yes the panels will give a trickle charge. Your best bet is to find a state park.

It sounds to me that a power inverter won't be enough power for what you need. Your best bed would be a generator. Good luck.
