Hauled a Honda generator to my sisters house in my very cool '69-60 miles away, some time before Christmas and gave it to her.
Power went out at 12:30 this morning here.
...not a problem.
I have a lawnmower powering an extra internally regulated GM alternator, that goes to an extra truck battery inside my cabin. (yes it's vented)
The setup powers an 800 watt-120v inverter, and I also have 12v car lights located in various places inside the cabin running directly off the batt.
Oh, and I have a wood stove in here and a RV stove/oven with full propane bottles up in the garage.
I'm doing alright if I do say so myself!
