a couple of those 100ah lithium iron PO batteries and a couple of 300
watt panels and I would think that you would be good to go for
everything but a big A/C unit. I would use the tripod milwaukee led
lights for outside lighting with a recharge station inside hooked up to
power from the vehicle. You can get some very bright led lights with
less than 50 watt draw. But of course two of those batteries is more
expensive than a generator, just a lot quieter and less maintenance.

You need 500 lux to splice. Hard to get that with 12 volt lights.
Your splicer and otdr will run down in the middle of a splice and you
will want a generator.
You will have night work and you will need some higher intensity
lights outside to see inside the handhole etc.
Unless you plan to have a vehicle running to power your 12 volt system
you will want a generator.
Sometimes you have to drop the trailer and drive to get someone while
someone stays behind splicing etc etc etc...

I pushed for a generator. The techs resisted and ultimately we ended
up without a generator.
The lights were easier on 12vdc. Propane works so well for heat. AC
is at a loss.
Why do you say we'll eventually want a generator?

Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector inside.
I think you will find that you will eventually want a generator.

Doing 12vdc in ours.
We use propane for heat and haven't really figured out the air
conditioning. The whole side opens up like a food truck, though.
Ohio treats us OK.

Some have ground rods and wires but mine don’t and I have
never seen anyone do it. The generator is floating with
respect to earth so grounding is not going to improve safety
from that aspect.

Does anyone know? Do splice trailers get grounded for
reasons of generator and/or other reasons while splicing?

But nothing suspended. Just trying to not interrupt sleep

Work in progress. We will build another one for our other
splice trailer once we work out the kinks.
Like to be 60 dB at 10 feet.

Neat project. Have you considered making it double walled
with some sort of anti-vibration material or suspension
between the inner and outer layers?

And experimental noise control box for the generator.
Getting 10 dB reduction does far.
