The idea was to test the use of the old Honda eu1000 portable generator in terms of providing electricity to the RV except for the tasks of air conditioner use and microwave oven use. These two items require at least 1500 watts which is beyond the capacity of the small Honda generator.
I wanted to also find out how long it would last on one tank.
Wednesday: started at 730am. Using it in eco mode where it ramps up automatically under high loads then throttles down when not working as hard to provide power.
Some data for record:
Found on Internet: Normal conversation: 60-70db
Honda:
Coffee Maker: 800W unit. while heating: mid to upper 50s db
While not under load, low 50s db.
Onan:
70db 20 ft from left side of rv where generator is mounted.
60db 25 ft from right side of rv, with bulk of RV blocking some of the noise.
The Honda will NOT provide enough amps for the air compressor I carry.
Straight run duration, light loads: 5 hours to out of gas.

Tuesday afternoon.

Okay, you take camping to a whole new level! Unbelieveable mountain vistas.
Thanks VStar Lady....its quite the scenic area, need to explore it more
Beautiful views of Mount Princeton. It must be hard waking to that view in the morning. :-)
Thanks Trobairitz....not hard at all really. ;)
Good morning. Great pictures. We are at our family reunion. The view from down at the pool is what Richard posted on fb. We both were wandering separately around the facility and ran into each other at our favorite view. Discussed the high taxes of living here, or living across the gorge in WA. Just dreaming. Thanks for your posts. Beautiful.
Thanks Bridget...Martha is missing "the boys"....
We all seemed to have been chased by storms. Loving the time-lapse.
Thanks SonjaM, skies are more interesting when there's storm clouds, don't you agree?
