Anyone ever used or had one? http://tinyurl.com/cz9eobb This will be used primarily for camping trips and, if necessary, emergencies. Oooops, missed he "camping trips" part. Your camp neighbors are gonna' hate you for running a contractors genny at the campsite.. Just sayin'.. At those kinds of campgrounds, electricity is available - wouldn't need a generator. If camping in a place where a generator is needed - like off the highway in Canada somewhere - anyone else around will be using their generator also. ------------------------------- Nope. You are wrong. There are electricity-less campsites but they are typically favored by people who want to truly connect with nature. They go there to get away from noise, not to microwave hotdogs or run a coffee maker. Bingo! A lot of people like to camp the old simple way ..maybe with a Coleman lantern and stove. Here's my credit card, where is my room. I had enough camping in shelter halves and all-weather sleeping bags. Although my wife isn't interested in camping, I could, and have, slept in the back of a stationwagon. Funny...before I bought my last 2 new vehicles, I crawled in back to see if I could sleep in the cargo area if required. With the back seats down it's a tight fit in the back of the RAV4...laying kitty corner. You should have bought a man's vehicle like my F150 5.4L V8 SuperCrew. One person can sleep in the front seat and another can sleep in the back seat. Duh! Since the last time I actually did sleep out in the back of my Dodge Aspen stn Wagon was the day Princess Diana was killed, I would have wasted a lot of expensive gas since then. I just like to have the capacity if required. Dodge Aspen? Why did you ever buy a Dodge Aspen? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Aspen Because I could. At the time I also looked at the new Honda Accord but was still leery of Japanese cars. Guess I made a mistake there. We had a Datsun 1200 Sedan. It lasted for about 13 years, over 300,000 miles and it had its oil change once or twice. It was tuned up once or twice just keep filling it with gas and it would go forever. |

I did get the new fenders for no charge and I had it rustproofed by Bondco but there was a hole in my tailgate before it was two years old. I kept it for five years and becaused I lived about 18 -20 miles out of town back then, the road salt really did a job on the car. Too bad, I did like that old slant six engine. |

Had a Mustang that the unibody was so rusted from salt that one day I was driving along, heard a thump in the rear, and when I opened the trunk, the leaf spring was poking through! |

Consumer Reports is useless. I bought my TV without consulting Consumer Reports. I bought many things without consulting Consumer Reports. |

You are better off consulting the internet instead of Consumer Reports. |

I laugh every time I hear a commercial where they tout the car's high marks from a JD Power Initial Quality report. What they don't tell you is that this survey was taken within the first 3 months of ownership. Most people are still in the honeymoon phase of their car purchase for the first 6 months and they often refuse to criticize their purchase decision. |

Most people are still in the honeymoon phase of their car purchase for the first 6 months and they often refuse to criticize their purchase decision. Some of their tests of new items are somewhat valid, but the car test results are about as useful as most of the R&T or C&D tests. Which is to say, a little bit of info surrounded by a lot of biased fluff. CR's reliability info on 3-5 year old cars is generally good, though. That doesn't help much in buying new. Mostly, CR and JD is helpful for people that can't think on their own. |
