It just feels wrong
We went camping last week testing out the new solar, inverter and the toys they will run. We were talking about them when Honey gets excited and starts digging through a storage that hasn't seen light...

BURBMAN - Your hiding the generator reminds me of a true story I have..
Wife and I got into Smoky Mtn Natl Park ELKMONT camp around 2PM in the afternoon and got all setup in our OFF-ROAD POPUP. Was dieing for a cup of coffee while resting in the big chair under the awning.
I thought what the heck - fired up my generator which sits under my fold-a-cover bed cover in the tail gate corner of my truck bed. Plugged the trailer into the generator and started my coffee maker up sitting on table outside under the awning. We use the Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker to make our been coffee we love. For some reason I just closed the tailgate on the running generator and it vents good from the front folding lid if I put a small stick under it so it won't fully close.
Its not all that full under the cover when I setup camp
As luck would have it here comes the Ranger greeting new arrival folks. I offered coffee and there both were about five feet away from my truck with the 2KW Honda running in the closed bed swapping stories etc...
I finally asked about the generator run time restrictions which was 8AM-10AM and then again at 4:30PM to 7:30PM (I think it is 8AM to 8PM now).
I told him well I needed coffee real bad after setting up and my generator is running right now. He jumps up and I dropped the tail gate and sure enough there it was purring away... Then I closed the tail gate again and the purring noise went away...
He sits back down and we finished our coffee and he went on his way... I shut it down as he was leaving... I'm sure it was the good ole fresh ground bean coffee that saved me hehe...
