Here's a solution to the Onan, Generac, etc. Just wonder if it'll
fit. Ten K's of power, limited to no maintenance, minimum need for
monitoring and lasts forever, almost.

We could just mount this on the roof, with nice long cooling fins and a flashing red light.

LOL we wish. Its 10,000k not 10 so its probably bigger than the GMC . Still, I'd love to go in on one with a couple thousand folks in my neighborhood and lower my electric bills, heck, even sell back.

But somebody should contact them and ask them if they have considered a mini reactor for the RV market. Or at least a kit, with a detailed installation guide, for us DIY's heh heh

ooooooow, Well, if you went all electric, the propane space is open, so is the battery space for the genset.....

The TURBOgenerator would probably be about the size of the Onan, The reactor would fill the battery space, the cooling tower can be installed on the rear of the GMC and the propane cabinet would hold the recirc water for cooling and radiation detection devices.

Feel sorry for the poor soul that runs a red light and hits the reactor.

Hmmm Today the GMC, tomorrow, the house.

And with 6 electric motors on the wheels we'd be good for any weather.
