[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!
