Hi Jim
Just a few additional things to consider:
How comfortable are you in dealing with higher voltages? Do you have a friend that is an electrician?
Both of these factors should influence your decision.
I started off with a 12 volt system just to see how everything worked.
For 12 volt systems there are everything from coffee pots and ovens to cheap inverters...all off the shelf at the local truck stops.
However, I do like the 120 voltage systems now. Copper costs and the ease of transporting the electricity over distances weighed heavily in my decision. So, you can run your equipment from your generator or off your batteries. The drawback with higher voltage systems are the big strings of batteries.
