[a/s] Elegant Airstream Power



Tonight I made a test of the alternative power systems onboard my 66 Safari.
I disconnected from line power and the tow vehicle.  I was operating only
off my internal battery.

I ran two small fans, a 5" color TV through a cigarette lighter inverter,
all the internal lights (some with small power bulbs), a Cambridge Model
Eleven power amp and CD player, and the patio light.  Meanwhile I ran the
reefer off LP gas and had a hot shower while I cooked fried Squash on the
stove.

I had light and hot water to shave after my shower, dressed and went outside
to plug in to the grid.  I am sure there are many other power demands that I
could have answered.

God bless the airstream and those who care enough to look beyond the grid!
