A New Generator

The Honda generator (seen in my post of 10 Aug 2011) was actually purchased as an emergency backup power source for our domicile in Northern Virginia.  I have been wanting to buy something else for West Virginia and now I have finally got around to it.  I got a good deal on a 3500 Watt Champion generator at Camping World in Winchester.  It has the same power output as the Honda but is a bit noisier.  To compensate for the decibel level, we decided to give it its own little spot 150 feet from the trailer.  I built up a little level pad site for it along side of the road and constructed an A-frame tarp cover to put over it.  It is far enough away that the sound level is acceptable and we don't have to bring it under the awning of the trailer every time it rains.  And we can bring the Honda generator back home.
