Power Pro 3500 the little chinese generator that can!
Well I'm finally able to get back on line. Wilma Hit us HARD here in Broward county Fla.. We lost power at 4:30 AM on monday. I have been running the generator for around 8 - 10 hours a day to keep the House Refer cold and run lights, TV, Satellite, ceiling Fan, My computer and a couple of outside motion sensor security lights.
Due to the lack of Gas in the area (few statikons w/ power and 5 - 6 hour wait with a $ 20.00 limit) I am limiting the amount we run the Generator.
After reading the material posted by the professor I went to pep boys and bought one of the power-pro generators. I didn’t mess with the internal wiring just looked at the diagram and made two separate 110 V 15 amp circuits. I ran my fridge on one line and the freezer from the other. It worked swell during Wilma who blew through Fort Myers Monday morning. We were out of electricity five days and I ran the unit over twelve hours each day. We watched TV had lights at night as well as fans. The unit used five gallons of gas to operate the unit for two days. The unit is noisy but it did better than what I could hope for. It will get rest until another hurricane decides to blow into town. I don’t have an RV anymore but still enjoy reading all the adventures you guys are having.
