[A/S] onan propane genset - was 'Yamaha Generator'

["Robert C. Townsend, Jr." <rctowns@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

#1 - the rv *is* the vehicle - a 1979 dodge b-van i've been using as a 
'test-bed' for systems planned for the 1948 Airstream 'Trailwind' 
restoration/renovation. The Trailwind Project has been stalled for awhile, 
but with a little luck will get going again this summer.

The recent thread on 'NidaCore' solved the problem of a lightweight flooring 
material i've been searching for, for years... until now, i'd been trying to 
find a source for a similar product used in commercial aircraft 
construction.

#2 - the sound-proof box and the generator live inside the rv - built into 
one of the seating area boxes. The box is lined with regular heat-shield and 
sound-proofing engine-compartment insulation available from just about any 
auto parts supplier - in this case, i think it was from JC Whitney.

In the proposed layout for the Trailwind, the cafe-style seating/sleeping 
area in the forward part of the trailer will contain the genset in one side, 
and the coleman air-conditioner in the other, both sound-proofed, and vented 
through the belly-pan of the trailer.

other interesting systems planned for the Trailwind Project:
