Any Predator Generator reviews?
Now when my build-in Generac died and even new $350 board is not fixing it, I am researching more reasonable option. $500 inverter generator have excelent reviews and some say it runs smaller AC jus...

Being a retired over the road trucker, I despise winter driving. Something about pulling a 45 foot wagon on icy roads that imparts sweaty palms. Now, I try not to go anywhere in the winter (besides hunting) that entails driving on bad roads.
After driving a couple million miles in all sorts of weather, a long drive to me now is about 300 miles (a day). Back in the day, I ran from Texas to New York City hauling boxed meat (I had a contract) in a weekend. I'd roll out of MBP in Texas on Friday afternoon and get in NYC on Canal Street Monday morning about 4am. Get jerked off, go pick up a load of whatever off the Jersey Piers for the Midwest, like KC, dump that and back to Texas for another round.
I made a ton of money, wore out a few trucks, took a lot of pills and never had a log book. Things are different today and thats not all bad.
I'm moving my spare to the front of the truck from underneath. Had a flat on the side of the e-way last year and there is nothing better than yanking the spare out from under the truck on a pea gravel berm, wrestling out from under there and mounting it (happened to be the drivers side front) with inconsiderate 4 wheelers whizzing by scant inches from my butt at 70 per. Not fun at all. I had bloody elbows, skinned knees, tore my pants.. wasn't in a good mood afterwards at all. Was on my way home from a nice weekend camp up north. Told my wife to stay in the truck. I didn't want her to become a traffic victim.
Flats are inevitable. Just want to make it as easy as possible should it happen again.
I figure a front mount will be easier, maybe not the actual change but the getting it out from under the back can be eliminated. I have to custom fabricate a receiver for the front and build a carrier. I don't care for the comercially available ones, I'll fab my own. I want to have a receiver extension in front of the spare carrier so I can mount my winch if I need it.
How my Yamaha 2800I was with my Lance, ran everything just fine. I don't have the need for that much wattage anymore. The Champion 2000 watt peak 1700 running is fine for my use and I bought it with Cabelas points anyway. If, at some point I did buy an ac unit for my TC, I'd just buy a second one and a parallel kit. Up here, heat is more important than ac. I run my heater when I get up in the morning to take the chill off, even in the summer.
Have fun on the fourth and don't blow your fingers off, firecrackers are dangerous.
Out of curiosity, what make of camper is it?
