[A/S] Very Cool Power Set up
Hi Gang,
I'm back in Ocala. I couldn't come home til I saw Walt and he tweeked a few
things on the trailer.....
While I was waiting I saw a shiny chrome exhaust pipe coming from under the
center of his truck. It was small, too small to be for the truck itself.
"What's the pipe?" I asked Walt.
He opened up the back and dazzled me.
He has a big diesel generator sitting on two I beams.... all bolted down.
The exhaust pipe is for the generator. It's near the side window on the truck
cap with a fan to keep it cool.
There's a short plug from the generator with a 30 amp female end.....
He wired his trailer so the power cord plugs into the front (like some
motorhomes) and runs a short cord from the trailer to the generator cord.
He can run everything in the trailer and do it while he's going down the
road!
He has an aux diesel tank in the back also that automatically feeds the
generator.
It'll run 8 hours on a gallon of fuel.
Not an inexpensive set up, but it was sweet.
