Well, i suppose i could strap it onto the swim platform.... right next to the extra jerry cans full of gas. Well, we talked about this stuff yesterday and I know you won't be using a generator, but for the benefit of anyone here who might be considering it... One word.. HONDA! Won't ride a red bike, but I wouldn't have a different brand Generator for camping. For Tim, a 1500 watt Honda is smaller than his Jerrycans, and a 10 year old can carry it around. But the real key is quiet, you could sit on a Honda and have a normal phone conversation.. I have been a little as 15 feet from one and not heard it running at a campsite. It's not even the muffler when you get your Db down to that level, it's the mechanical noise, and Honda has that down better than any other I have seen to date... Just a reminder to those of you that are cozy in your Motorhomes. You are not generally the one that has to listen to your generator all night long, it's the family across the way in a tent that usually has to deal with it... Me, I just make sure my headphones are charged up and listen to tunes all night long instead. -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - Pain is temporary, Glory is forever!

With a big alternator, decent battery and an inverter, you won't need a generator my thoughts exactly. however, I'm actually thinking of downsizing my power output to about stock for my application. fixing up something capable of running a consistent 60-70 amps with a heavy winding and dual rectifiers instead of a 180 amp pounder. besides, my inverter wouldnt' be under a full load anyhow. even if running a small microwave or coffee make rand a fridge, it would only be monetarily. Of course when the load is on it IS on but an 8-D is a lake full of amps, and also being new it should recover quickly My philosophy is that the lower powered unit can maintain a menial rate of charge to fill one or even 2 8-D house bank batteries with a minimal load on the belt or the engine, (BTW, it's a 305 chevy). only thing is that it would take a bit longer to build the bank back to full charge. Now, running a 180 would probably be fine, except for my application; on initial start up the unit would peak out about 215-235 amps which at least momentarily would get the belt hot and also cause higher fuel consumption due to accessive drag. In your situation Wayne, yes, i'd agree that the higher amped unit, the better because you have too many constants pulling power all the time and at throttle, that Detroit probably doesn't really know it's there anyhow. I dunno. I'm still planning. |

Much less complicated than a boat "refrigerator," and keeps food cold and safe for days, even in the steamy weather we get in the summer in the Washington, D.C., area. Those are tough. a customer of mine has one and he says they're the best cooler going, and probably are. They also have the price tag to go with them. Wayne, I'd thought of investigating one of those types of boxes too. but I look and figure on what all we've actually used a cooler for throughout the year, and for our needs the expense is kinda unjustifiable for an extremely high quality unit. It would be different if we were going on outings for a week+ at a time, but not so is the case. besides I do have a Norcold 12v refrigerator that came from a older wrecked camper. and I had ideas for that, but it's just too heavy and bulky. so..... And these things? http://www.nextag.com/car-plug-in-cooler/products-html Eh... I'm embarrassed to admit that on our new boat, which has a generator and an inverter and shore power, and a nice refrigerator and an ice maker, I still use my Yeti cooler. We've only overnighted a couple of times, but hope to take a couple of reasonable multi-day cruises this coming season. Maybe I'll crank up the 'fridge. All I used it for at the end of last season was as a place to store bottled water. Classic WAFA bull****. |

Ahh, but the electric 'fridge needs...electricity. There's no free lunch. You don't have electricity on your boat? Most do these days, and the price of inverters has dropped down to the pocket change level. I have all sorts of electricity on the new boat, but I have yet to use the refrigerators or icemaker, other than briefly, to ensure they worked. I'm sure I'll use everything to excess this spring. Yeah were sure too. As sure as we are you built that deck or it's even on your house.... *We are still looking* around of FaceBook to see who's pix you nicked..;) Who is "we", mini-man? http://www.classmates.com/directory/...e/list.htm?reg... ~Double Snerk!~ Damn! That boy's knees don't know each other even exist! Ride a horse much? :- You and flajim ziggy playing with each other again, jackoff? It's kind of gay how you jump to donnie's defense, ya know? Gay? Please. I wasn't working the gang showers in the Navy as flajim was. Besides, Don and I have never met and never exchanged hot chats on the phone, as you and your boys here do. - mmmmm, that's why they stick so close together. Back in Harry's day, gays *went allowed* to serve in the military. Harry didn't serve. You can put two and two together, cant you. -- Ziggy® "went allowed"?? Sorry. I was still giggling over the little mystery boy standing in front of his little sailboat. -- Ziggy® |
