Re: [VAL] Electric Choices



Hi Kathy:

See you again at Calistoga this year?

If you are talking about boondocking, in my mind there is no contest.
Generator.  My choice is (I have one) a Honda EU 2000i.  Consider that it
will run:

- Just about any power tool you have
- A microwave oven
- A small A/C unit (5000 to 6000 btu)
- A hairdryer
- An electric coffee pot
- Etc...etc...

It will also be available to recharge your trailer battery as well as the
one in your tow vehicle (8 amps @ 12v).

You can use it at home as backup in case of a power outage (like we have in
CA)

It weighs less than 50#

It's very quiet (but still a generator)

It's a very pretty red (with black trim) <grin>.

If you are not talking about boondocking......well....
