Batteries, Communications & Electronics, Computer, Electricity, Generator, Technical 7 Comments Generator!
OMG, my French Canadian neighbours were totally cool with the thought of my borrowing their genset for a bit! I am so grateful! He even understands why I use a separate battery charger.
Isn’t this a beautiful sight?
I asked for two hours of use and don’t want to take advantage of their generosity, so I won’t be able to get a full charge. I’m using the 15A setting and charging my computer at the same time, so I have 10A coming in. I need to put in about 40A to get really full. So we’ll see how far I get.
For the odd time I need a generator, borrowing one makes more financial sense. I just don’t see myself asking any Tom, Dick, or Harry to borrow their unit.

One of those small Honda generators is just the ticket. Glad you are getting some charge and hope the sun is bright tomorrow.
Yeah, but the cost of those would pay for a LOT of nights in a campground. My cheapest solution so far is an extra solar panel.
I agree they are not cheap but when you have a lot of days of clouds and/or rain they come in handy. That is what I meant about being “just the ticket” not that you should get one. Besides, a night in a campground fills the bill for getting water and emptying your tanks.
Oh, I don’t disagree. I think a generator is a must for the Pacific NorthWET. And exactly regarding dumping and tanks.
Ha ha ha ha ha, you are so funny!
Glad your neighbors are so nice as well!
I have no idea what cracked you up, but I’m tickled pink I made you laugh.
[...] said, I’m not sure I would still be here on the beach had I not been able to borrow that generator at the beginning of February or if L and B hadn’t installed a new continuous duty solenoid in the motorhome engine [...]
