Running roof ac while driving
I'm preparing to make a long trip and buying a travel trailer. It will be something a bit older like early 2000s and around 24ftish. I'd like to be able to have my dogs ride in the trailer while trave...

I have my Honda 3000 mounted on a Stromberg-Carlson generator rack Tongue Rack and I installed an automatic transfer switch. Wired it all up so that when the generator is running it feeds everything in the trailer. When it's hot out, I stop about an hour before arrival and crank the generator and turn on the A/C. All is cool and comfortable on arrival.
I see no reason why you could not run the generator during the entire trip. My Honda goes about 20 hours on a tank full so that's a lot longer than any days drive I'll ever do. Most folks stop every couple of hours so in the event of an issue I doubt the trailer would heat up to "dog killing" temp before you noticed it. However, there are all manner of wireless remote temperature monitors available at Lowes, Wal-Mart or Amazon.
