Forget the Onan and bring along a better lighter generator like a honda 2000.
Thanks. I have a Honda 2000 that I could use. Girlfriend wants to avoid getting out of the truck camper to get AC power if I'm not around, but this might not work if an Onan is just too large. She also wants an AC unit just to knock down the heat before sleeping; hence, the generator. I just noticed that Coleman makes 9,200 to 11,000 units, which should run off a Honda 2000, so maybe we'll do that.
Living in one of these truck campers for 9-12 months could become difficult, so I'm looking at options to make it more livable.
Another thing I want, if I can retrofit a unit, is to put a Thetford cassette toilet into a truck camper. I'm buying an older unit, that I'm sure won't have one. I am aware that some newer models offer them now. "Dump" stations are scarce down there. I'd see the cassette as a PITA in the US, but down there, might be nice. Also, getting a truck into a shipping container is an issue on this trip. Turning radius becomes quite important.
