I support this.Quote:

Accurate
I have no idea if there are some that you can't hear... but for me there's nothing worse when you're trying to get out of the city to relax than listening to someone else run a generator for several hours... Drives me nuts lol.Quote:

I agree, some people still run their $400 3000W open frame construction generators for hours on end.Quote:

I spent a modest amount on 6V golf cart batteries, solar panel, inverter to charge your cell phone etc. from battery. Now I only have to run a generator every 3 or 4 days for an hour to charge the batteries, and that's without letting the batteries discharge below 50%.
I can run 5 - 7 days without a charge ( not in the fall when the furnace runs all night) but Wifey likes her morning latte and I like real toast not that savage stuff made over the fire, so we run the genny for 15 mins a day for our 1st world problems and not cause we need to charge.

Pretty sad news, but that's always been my fear with a camper, I'm sure these things would be entirely engulfed in flames in minutes.
One bonus of a hybrid.. exits everywhere
Dang rip. Good reminder for me to replace my second score / co detector
Im watching this one closely. It will be very unusual for a fire to start but be limited to the internal of a trailer. You're right, they usually go up like a matchstick house. That with the fact they are easy to escape and generally have safeguards such as smoke/co detectors it just all seems fishy.Quote:
