I think I'll save the space and weight for a generator. And, BTW, if you've got a Honda generator you're wanting to get rid of, let me know. With all the rain we've been having, I'm thinking more and more of buying one just for the sump pump. John H. ---------------------------------------------------- I have a Honda EU2000i but you'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands. :-) You're lucky not to have run into drooping voltage at campgrounds in your travels. It's a fairly common issue, especially in the summer when everyone is running their AC units. I bought it because when we were in Florida the commercial power often drooped during the day. I had poured a concrete pad for the RV that was about 150 feet from the house. I ran 6 AWG wire from the house panel out to the pad (underground) to compensate for voltage drop but didn't realize how bad the commercial power drooped over the course of the day. Before getting the Autoformer I would sometimes measure as little as 105 vac at the RV and you could hear the RV's AC unit straining to turn on. During those droops, the Autoformer would boost the voltage back up to 115 vac or more which solved the problem. Heck of a lot cheaper than a new AC compressor. |
