What did I do to the RT? Made sure it was full of fuel, ran the generator a bit, drove about twenty miles.
NWS is predicting a blizzard here for tomorrow with winds gusting to 40+ and who knows how much snow. If the power lines go out, I can start the Onan and run my power cords. I bought a bunch of long 12 gauge and14 gauge cords a few years ago to hook up the refrig and the blower on the HVAC unit so I can run the genset and keep heat in the house and the food in good shape. I run it every few hours for an hour or so and that works out great. It is not expected to get very cold ( mid and upper 20s) so. Our power company does a super job but if we get any ice on those lines before the wind hits...............the Roadtrek's genset is ready! Right now it is 62 degrees and beautiful!
This is a wonderful benefit to having a B right here at the house, just as has been discussed in this forum in the past. The Christmas blizzard a few years ago we were without power for four days.
