Ham radio is where the Generac falls down--the dedicated inverter sprays RF
from DC to daylight. But a Honda 2KW portable works great, and will run the
whole event with the auxiliary fuel tanks we use.
It was supposed to rain all day Friday, and we baked. I'm the color of a
freshly peeled strawberry. I parked the coach pointed North, so the awning
would be deployed on the leeward side. I also stood my awning legs
vertical, Henderson-style, tied down to screw anchors. That managed the
stiff breeze we had at times.
The coach ran great.
