Well, after much stress over this generator, I gave a mass email a chance. I had someone offer me a 5500 watt generator to borrow for the week. He assured me its quiet and has a Honda motor. I am hoping that it is quiet enough. I am still going to have to invest in a generator, for next year so I am hoping we can find one between here and there that is quiet enough.
We will be pulling a Trail manor with a Land cruiser. We will have the adapter and I am thinking about taking my kids Wagon to move the water back to the trailer.
Lastly I am going to try to implement the law that nothing brown goes down the toilette. Only in worse case scenarios..not sure if thats gonna fly, but we shall see.
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
I hate to post twice, but I might as well ask. I have the smallest pop up available, about 10 feet closed, maybe 16 feet opened. So I'm guessing I have about a 7000 btu air conditioning in there. The only other things in there are 2 lights, and a frig (which we will not use or turn on).
I just got off the phone with a guy that said we need at least a 3500w generator, I'm looking on the web and it says 1700 start up watts and 600 average while running. If we only used the AC in the morning and of course we won't need lights or anything else, will we really need the 3000 watts? Couldn't I get away with a 2000, or a 2500? Or is it not so good to be pushing the threashold with the generators? Keep in mind I'm renting, so I'm not too worried about the gen itself, but I also don't want the thing blowing up while I'm there.
thanks a lot
Your pop-up most likely has a 13,500 BTU air conditioner. There are really only really two sizes, 13,500 and 15,000 BTU's. A Pop-up needs a lot of cooling due to the fact it does not have any insulation , just canvas.
You will need a 3000 watt generator to start and run that air conditioner.
I just picked up my Honda EU3000is generator this afternoon. I chose this because it is rated as the quietest 3K generator out there. at 1/4 load it is supposed to by 49 db. I would caution against the 72 db generator - thats like a vacuum cleaner. Look to rent a Honda, Subaru, or Yamaha. The small "IS" generators have a built in inverter to produce very clean power, at 1/4 load, they are supposed to run for 20 hours on 3.5 gallons of gas. I have looked at one for a couple years to have around should there be a power outage. Not common in my area, but you never know.
There is a Kippor which is a chinese knockoff of the Honda, but does not reduce the noise by much as compared to the Honda.
You will be very pleased with this generator, We have the same one now for the fourth year. Never any problems...
