GENERATOR FOR THE TRAVEL TRAILER HOMESTEAD
Posted by homesteading on September 16, 2006
For the travel trailer homestead you will need a power generator for various tasks requiring a large power output, such as running power tools, watching TV, or fixing a cup of coffee in the microwave. I us mine to charge my rv batteries while I watch tv or do work around the homestead requiring use of the generator, this way I get two things done at once, saving both time and fuel.
I use a Honda EX1000, this generator will produce 1000 watts of power, more then adequate for our needs . I can run the generator for about five hours on a gallon of fuel, and with a weight of only 57lbs., I can move it as needed.
Only operate your generator outdoors in a well-ventilated, dry area, away from any air intakes to your trailer. Build a small shed with doors that open in the front and back to keep the generator dry and well ventilated. I set mine up on concrete blocks to keep it off the ground.
