Anyone ever used or had one? http://tinyurl.com/cz9eobb This will be used primarily for camping trips and, if necessary, emergencies. === To be honest with you, I don't think you're going to like it very much, although probably OK for emergency use at the house once in a while if you and your neighbors can tolerate the (considerable) noise. You'll need a professional electrician to get it connected properly. For camping it is much too heavy and noisy. For camping I'd suggest an inverter connected to a second battery which you can connect into your truck's 12 volt system for recharging. For the second battery the Sears 31M platinum Diehard would be a good choice. There are lots of inverter options but something like this would be big enough to run a small microwave for a few minutes: http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|328|936|1719194&id=1719099 You need short, very heavy cables (#2 wire or bigger) between the battery and inverter. |
