Of course you've been comparing EMS against your Sola Basic, doing your darndest to convince others how wasteful it is to invest in an EMS instead of a voltage booster ... geez, you're doing it now! :S Painful as it may be for you to acknowledge the reality is that far more would be better served with an EMS unit such as those offered by Progressive rather than a voltage booster such as your imported Sola ... and sales figures show it, especially when Progressive can't even keep up with the demand for it's most popular model, the EMS-PT30C. ;)

I haven't seen any of this "darndest to convince others". What I've seen is somebody who found a solution that solves HIS problem for HIM, and is sharing the details to anybody who might be interested, then gets dumped on by others who think they know better for everybody. If you disagree with what he's doing, that's fine, but why can't he use his 30 amp ration in peace? And if you're going to police the voltage booster, you should also be policing everything else that uses the pedestal power.
