I keep a Killawatt meter and plug it into the auxillary outlet on the generator and if I am running for hours I plug it into a house outlet. They are only $15 and show cycles per second and voltage, real handy to see while operating and it shows if the on-board gauges are working fine.

What makes my 003 sound loud is when I am running it the other homes are dead silent- no ambient noises at all. No heat pumps, no refrigerators, washing machines and so on. Still, in my opinion it is not "too" loud, I sleep with it 15 feet from the window and I relax hearing the constant tone.

Do you think any soldiers ever exceeded 50MPH? :) Anyway, I remember for years Uhaul always put 45MPH MAX SPEED in reverse on the fenders of trailers so the driver would see it in the mirrors. Probably everyone drove 45 as soon as they saw it. Also remember the tires are quite large so the...

I totally agree! It is not how often or how long power is off. It is bound to be off some, and that can be very inconvenient. Two years ago on Easter wife had a turkey in the oven and was getting ready to put a cake in when some idiot hit the power pole down the street. We were expecting a...

OK, I went out and took a few pics. The first shows a screwdriver in the back-up hole on the brakes. This is just for a few feet of backing up only, not for on the road. Second is the 24 volt connector. As you can see it does not convert to civilian use easily. Third is where I tapped in to...

I didn't mean to make it sound bad, it is really simple. I did my tow with a Crown Vic, piece of cake. The rod I mentioned can just be a screwdriver, something to insert into the surge brake if you want to back up. The surge brakes think backing is the same as slowing down and will apply the...

Yes and no. They really need a full pre-trip as the brake reservoir may be empty. Also you need a rod to push into the hole on the brake actuator if you want to back up or you can lock the wheels. Also lights are a concern, most folks use magnet lights to get it home. Lunette will be a...
