You've got to be really careful with small generators, for a bunch of
reasons..

1) Most small generators (by small I mean 1000 Watts or so) don't like
to be constantly on the move while running. The bearings aren't really
designed to handle the gyroscopic loads that come from spinning real
fast while abruptly changing direction (i.e. hitting bumps in the
road, potholes, etc). You can really take a few years off of a small
generator by doing this. Ask me how I know ;)

b) Very hard to mount so that you aren't going to set something on
fire!

III) You've got to worry about keeping it fueled on the road - the
small ones only have fuel capacity for around 3 hours or so.

Four) Exhaust venting! They pump out CO and other nasties like crazy
- even a small leak in your trailer will kill everything in your tank
in an hour or two.


The only way I would do this is if I had a pickup. Put the generator
in the pickup bed, and run an extension cord to the trailer somehow.

Is there any way you can get a small portable generator for the trailer.
Might just be handy for the time in the wilderness too.

oh man, why? the sickness of vehicle traffic, the breathing of smog, the
arsenic and chromium 6 and flouride in my drinking water that gave my most
precious female dog bone cancer who i lost two years ago, the lack of wild
salmon and caribou to seed my sled dogs in this area(lol), poisened foods at
the grocery store, stress from all the hustle and bustle, the dependence on
oil, the quest for renewable energy and log cabins, living in tranquility
using my sled dogs for travel in sub zero winters to get to store and back,
and to the river and back, and to hunt to get my food, the pure love of it,
survival instinct, hunting trapping only my subsistence, and i have 8 sled
dogs that are dying to go!!! I love it, right now its going to get down
to -20 degF sometime this week in Fairbanks where i plan to settle somewhere
in the woods just outside one of the towns... :-) big smiles....
i like to climb mountains in winter storms(well used to when i was a bit
younger, still want to conquer Denali and will try) and did an ice climb up
the north face of Mt. San Gregornio once as well. I love expeditioning and
am not married yet and in my very early 30's. now maybe that would better
explain it ??.. heeheehee

Sounds like YOU'D be lucky to survive, let alone a delicate mini-reef.

Good luck, my friend.
